Hey guys. I have a Windows 7 Dell laptop connected to an e-port plus docking station that has a male serial port on it. I also have a Male-to-Female serial cable which I have purchased a coupler for (female-to-female). I am trying to run a terminal session by connecting my laptop/docking station to a Dell PowerConnect 5448 switch's console port via said serial cable. I am using puTTy as my client. Per the back of the switch (and documentation), the settings for a console session are as follows:
9600, 8, 1, no parity, no flow control.
Using these settings I am still unable to even get a "Console>" prompt. I get absolutely nothing. Any ideas? I need to get into this switch.
Thanks as always for your help.
