Trying to access the switch via console port, I have the Hyper termin settings as follows
Bits per second  9600  
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control None.

What settings are needed to consol into an HP Procurve switch using Hyper Termin.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
