Brocade Serial Cable

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I'm trying to access to a Brocade 3200 via serial cable, settings are 9600 1 8 n none for
flow control hyperterm and I can only see a blank screen even though it is said at the bottom connected.

I don't have the serial cable that came with the Brocade so I'm using a generic serial cable.

Do I need to use a special cable? if so, what is the P/N?

Please advice,

I've tried to different cables on two different Brocade switches and it was the same result

are you sure the COM Port is correct and the port is work ? try a connection to another Switch/Router for Test.

I use here a simple Std. Serial cable, and work fine.

From what I know, you need to use a straight through serial cable and not a null modem. Some serial cable are used to connect two serial devices directly - this type is called null modem cable.

What you need is straight through. Maybe you can post the pic of your cable and folks on the forum can probably have a look, might help.
