You should be sending a break around the time it says "*** The system will autoboot in 5 seconds ***".  I would send lots and lots of breaks from right before to afterwards.

i try.... the switch dont acepted anithing.

Have you got flow control disabled in your terminal program?  Are you 100% certain it is sending the break signal?

yes... flow control is off.

I tested the key signal in other router.
