Problem with Hyperterminal Access to PIX 515 Console port--Easy points
Tired of beating my head against a wall. I have been all over the place on Cisco's website and keep[ finding comflicting information.
What type of cable is needed to connect to the console port on a PIX 515?
One place says a roll over, but another says a null-modem cable.
What is the necessary config for hyperterminal?
One place says Hardware flow control, another says None.
I have tried umpteen different possibilities with no effect.
Am I right that this should work?
[PIX]----[Rollover cable]----[RJ-45 to db9 adapter]----[Serial Port on laptop]

Did you lose the baby blue cable that came with the PIX?
ASKER
No I didn't loose it. It was lost well before my time.
You know how it is.

I have tried two different cross over cables with two different adapters each.
Connect HyperTerminal with correct settings (see lrmoore above)
Power Cycle PIX
and nothing
I know I am doing something stupid.
Double checked everything I can think of.

What does MODE COM1 say from the command line on your laptops ? Are you sure your laptop's COM port works ?
ASKER
Yes the COM ports work. The laptops are used to direct connet to a variety of hardware. I did triple check COM port settings.
I have also tried to connect from 2 servers in addition to the one laptop.
Never tried the command you mention. I'll try it on Monday.
I have been using a RJ-45 to DB9 straight thru adapter (2 different known good ones). Beginning to think it might need a custom adapter.
