I cannot get a response from the console port on my ebay "as-is" 4000M router. Per earlier thread and archives, I think I have the right cable--a straight through DB9-DB25 modem data cable. Some referred to rollover with db25 adapter, but I tried all the adapters in my spare part box to no avail. I'm not sure I have the right adapter because the 4000 console port is DB25 DCE (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/701/14.html) but the only pinouts I see are for DB25 DTE. Anyway, I think the whole 4000 series has standard RS232 at the console port, so a regular cable should be okay.
Also, I tried tera term and hyperterm, all speeds from 1200 to 9600. Visually, the router seems to power up fine and the console port does not have any obvious physical defect, but so far I have seen nothing from it. I am trying to locate a RS232 breakout box to see if ANYTHING is live on the port, but meanwhile any suggestions? Any way I can get in through the aux port? I have no idea what may or may not be in the config. I hope I have not bought a doorstop.... :-) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=54114&t=54114 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
