Help To Setup my Router and Switch

I just got my 2500's and 1900's switch. I got the Serial to USB in order to use my Console cable. But when I use Putty, my terminal Froze on me and the Os, not start. should I have The Access Server to resolve this issue ? Or try with Win Xp(Virtual).

Thanks,

Fabricio

You have to choose the proper COM port before connect to a device.
Are you using this settings?
Speed: 9600
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity:0
Flow Control: No

Usually with those USB to Serial adapters they require drivers to be installed. I would suggest you open up device manager, and check and ensure the proper COM port is showing up under the appropriate heading and there are no conflicts.

If all appears well try again with Putty or TeraTerm or possibly try changing the COM port settings in the device manager to another free COM port.

+1 on this. I had this problem when I received my USB to serial adapter. Look in your device manager to see if it recognizes it.
