Note!! The URL you refer to is for a 2500 series router - not the 2610 you are having problems with. If you HAD TO "strap CTS high" you would probably try something like this: Both the router and your PC are DTE devices and the rollover is allowing a DTE-DTE communication. Since a DTE normally pulls the DTR signal high once it is ready to communicate, you should be able to "strap CTS high" by soldering the DTR wire to the CTS wire inside the DB-9 connector. I do NOT recommend the above procedure. I have worked with many 2610 routers and have never seen this exact problem but I have seen a number of Cisco devices with dead console ports. Try connecting to the Aux port. You should get a screen and be able to type. If that works you almost surely have a dead console port.
