I setup the hyperterminal according to the setting, Baud rate etc., given on the online documentation and it said it is connected. But there was no CLI of the router, also it remained connected even if I powered off the router. Please help me in troubleshooting this as I am new to Cisco hardware. Thanks a lot.
