PowerConnect 3524 Config Problems
I have a PowerConnect 3524 switch. I am trying to configure it using hyperterminal as a VT100 emulator. I can see the text that the switch is sending at start up, but nothing that I type is getting through (there is no response to anything that I type). I have tried connecting 2 different computers and I am getting the same problem.
Is this an issue with the switch? Is this an issue with hyperterminal?
Thanks,
Dustin

Be sure you have the serial connection set to 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
If you are still having problems, check your serial cable by connecting it to your PC and looping back pins 3 and 4 on the other end of the cable. You can use a bent paper clip to do this. Once you have pins 3 and 4 connected to eachother, everything you type in hyperterminal should appear on the screen. If this happens, it means your cable and PC serial port are OK. Then remove the paper clip and connect the cable to the switch. It should work.
