is this 4700M bad? [7:20630]
I just got a 4700M router through an auction. I think the guy is honest so I doubt he sent me a bad router. Plus, he had a show version in the auction, but I have reason to believe he just sells stuff he gets, so might not even know how to get a show ver but copied it from who sold him the router. I only have experience with 2500 routers. I connected to a 2500 router and got output, then without changing anything, took out the console cable from the 2500 and put it in the 4700M with a console cable sub25 to rj45 adapter that comes standard with cisco console kits. Nothing appears. I've searched cisco.com and believe I've found the hyperterminal settings are to be the same as a 2500...9600, 2 stop bit, no hardware flow, so am left thinking the adapter is bad, but brand new (I believe 3rd party console kits). The power light comes on in front. There are 3 2port ethernet modules plugged in it. The OK light only comes up on the far left one. But, I also put in a live ethernet cable into each port and properly get a flashing link light, so think those are fine. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Marcus, I'm not sure what the problem is, but possibly the image is bad/not there. Try this. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/701/61.html 1.. Connect to the router with the following terminal settings: 1200 baud rate No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit No flow control You no longer see any output on your screen. This is normal. 1.. Power cycle (switch off and then on) the router and press the spacebar for 10-15 seconds. This generates a signal similar to the break sequence. 2.. Disconnect your terminal and reconnect with a 9600 baud rate. You should now be in ROM Monitor mode. From here, you can see what's on the flash, as well as tftp or boot from the flash. -Sean marcus xx wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

I had similar problem with the 4500/4700 series router. My problem was that during air shipping, the routers were bouncing up and down. As a result of this, the cpu became kinda lose. So I opened up the router, took out the cpu and tightly inserted it back in. Voila, I got something when I booted up. -frank On Thu, 20 Sep 2001, marcus xx wrote: I just got a 4700M router through an auction. I think the guy is honest so I doubt he sent me a bad router.

Re: is this 4700M bad? [7:20630]
I tried Sean's method, but still nothing. I looked at the CPU to re-seat it like Frank suggested, but it doesn't have a release lever like a motherboard CPU. I'm a bit weary to just pull at it, is this indeed what you do?

Slide the case reseat the memory. If you are seeing the POST, I'd try swapping out the balun you've used to convert the console from RJ45 to db25. I've bought a pile of these boxes off of Ebay have even had a power supply develop an open that zapped everything in my equipment rack... still these boxes keep ticking. I've even recieved 4000's that were shook so hard the memory boards unseated, still everything has worked without fail.

Re: is this 4700M bad? [7:20630]
Well, I've got some progress. I can see the 4700 from another router using show cdp nei. So probably the sub25pin is bad. It's brand new though. I'll try to round up another somewhere. I've got a different problem now. It's got three 2 ethernet port modules in it. I wanted to confirm they all work, so plug the ethernet cable in all, but only the first module works. Looking at the front of the router, there are three lights for each of the modules. I assume they light up to confirm it's recognized, but only the module I could confirm with show cdp is lit up. Is it in fact so that these should be lit all the time? I've reseated all the memory/flash/and these modules, but no change in the light status.
