Please log in for more thread options I'm trying to get into my SpeedStream 5851 SDSL modem using a serial cable. I connected the DB9 to RJ45 adapter (which came with the DSL modem) to my 'COM1' port on the back of my Win PC. Then I connected an ethernet patch cable from the RJ-45 side of the adapter to the RJ-45 'console' port on the back of my SpeedStream. When I fire up HyperTerminal and connect through COM1, I get no prompt to login to the router. I've tried the following HyperTerminal settings: 9600/8/none/1/none 4800/8/none/1/none 2400/8/none/1/none 9600/8/none/1/hardware 2400/8/none/1/hardware Still no login prompt. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Should a regular ethernet patch cable (non-crossover) work, or do I need a special one? Thanks! | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options sf.techguy@gmail.com says... You most likely need a crossover cable. Did it come with a silver satin cable? --Gene | ||||||||||||||||

Tried crossover and straight through cables (router ug says regular patch should work). Anyone know what may be wrong? | ||||||||||||||||

Use an ohmmeter to check the wiring and then use a terminal emulation program (or an asynch terminal) set to 9600 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit to talk to the router.
