Teraterm or Router or laptop issue, don't know?

Beany

Morning,

When I connect to my routers (2811s, 2600s) it will connect and teraterm starts to display boot info of the router but then stops before getting into the user mode, the cursor stays blinking, nothing happens. The laptop doesn't crash and is usable. Any ideas why this happens? Using windows 7 at home.

Maybe it's the serial2USB adapter but then again it works fine on a windows 7 works PC. Anybody experience an issue like this?

When I got my 2511 access server last year, it didn't boot all the way. During boot it said something about a memory error. So I found some docs online to check how to open up the box and reseat the memory. After I did that, it got it working, and has been working since. Do you see any type of errors? Other than that not sure..

Beany

No errors whatsoever. Just blinking cursor does nothing, waited 15mins

It is possible that a corrupt IOS in flash memory will cause it,
a corrupt flash does not only boot to Rommon>, it can do what you describe.
You just reload a new IOS to try and fix a corrupt flash.

edit:
sorry I did not read that it works fine on a w7 PC.

it must be your serial 2 usb adapter huh
wait, just your adapter works fine on your PC? , or

the AS2511 / 2811, 2600 / serial 2 usb, to pc, all works well?

what about your OCTO cable, or is your AS2511 an RJ, then you have lots of CAT 5 cable that could be issue.

20 year old cat 5 ports/jack can get loose,bad

Hi Beany

Have you issued the no exec command under the console lines? This prohibits anyone from getting in.

Hi,

Tbh I tried another laptop. An old one with a serial port, works fine now

I guessed it:) (I just couldn't get Win7/64 to "talk" to the USB-to-DB9 adapter, no matter what).
