Help with PIX 506 Console/Hyper Terminal open original image

Hello there,



I managed to connect to my PIX 506 console using a home made roll overcable and simple term gold. I can see the device booting through the terminal. It boots, then it stops at the Question:"Pre-configure PIX Firewall now through interactive prompts? (yes):


I write "yes" or "Y" or "Enter" but noting happens. I cannot send any input to the device.



My pinout is the following



RJ45 ---> DB9



1 8
2 7
3 6
4 5
5 4
6 3
7 2
8 1

I should probably get a cable tester but i just wanted to verify if you guys had any idea..



Can't help you on the wiring itself, but what are your baud settings? I always use 9600/8/N/1 with *no* flow control in HyperTerm...

You might want to confirm that it matches the pinouts for a rolled cabled and that you are using correct terminal settings:
