Hi Guys.



I am trying to use USB to serial console to Cisco 25xx, but i dont get anything back from the screen? When i used back the serial console, it works fine!. Any idea?



thx!



Hi,

What is the make of the converter?

Not all converters will work but I know of the ones that have "Prolific" chipsets that work well. Have a look on Ebay there should be loads and some will mention support for break sequences that work for password recovey.

Hope this helps.

Are you using the correct com port?

Change Port Settings (change to COM1) or use other com port

You need to look to see what com port it is using. Can't just guess at it. It's in your device manager area listed under com ports.

Hi Brian,

ya, it is com3, but after trying a few times and even reinstalling the driver, but still, cant work.

cheers, jk
