TPAD Support
The serial port can be configured as a TPAD port. Communications with the router through 
the serial port for configuration purposes are not possible when TPAD is enabled. You can 
continue to enter configuration commands by using Telnet.
The following example sets the serial port as a TPAD port:
Host> set serialport tpad
To switch from TPAD mode to configuration mode, do one of the following:
•
From the terminal connected to the serial port, enter ^A three times, followed by a 
Return to restore the prompt.
•
From a Telnet session, enter the set serial config command.
The current state of the serial port can be displayed by using the show configuration 
command in a Telnet session.
For complete information on TPAD, see the Cisco 700 Series Command Reference.
