Hi Kevin, this is from the Cisco site:
Console Port Problem on Cisco 2500 Symptom Output from the router on the console screen can be seen, but anything which is typed in is not seen. Problem The terminal is set to use Ready To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS) flow control. On all other routers, the console port is wired to connect RTS and CTS so even though we don't do real flow control, the terminal sees CTS in response to asserting RTS. Due to the RJ45 -> DB25 adapter wiring for the 2500, this is not possible. Solution Disable hardware flowcontrol or strap CTS high. Hope this helps, Georg Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=40968&t=40966 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
