Serial Interface with PC 3448
I'm sorry for the newbie question, but I'm having problems connecting to my PowerConnect 3448 switch. I have the cable that has a serial connection on one end and what looks to be an rj45 type plug on the other. Which end do I plug into the switch, and which end do I plug into my computer? I've tried it both ways and using all the options in hyperTerminal I haven't been able to get anything to happen.
Could someone provide a little more details as to how this is done? I certainly appreciate it.
Chris

Did you check the baud rate on your serial connection. Try 115200 and if that doesn't work try 9600. It may depend on what the serial speed was set to if this was changed from the default setting.

No the serial cable is different - it is a 9pin cable and should be plugged into the serial port on your switch (look for the console port) and the serial port on your PC. Then you can use hyperterm with it or any console emulator. Whether it is com1 or com3 or whatever depends on the com port you plugged it into on your PC.
