I recently acquired this switch, I know it's IP (10.1.16.21), however I don't know the password. It has no doubt been configured (ONLY ports 1,2,4,5 do 100 Mb/s). I've plugged in a straight through serial cable (using a gender changer on one end).
I've configured HyperTerminal to:
9600 bits per second
8 data bits
no parity
1 stop bits
no flow control
VT100 Emulation (ASCII char. set)
My problem is, on boot, I can see the switch POST and it tells me to enter ctrl-Y to begin. However, it's unresponsive. I know it should go to a password prompt, because that's what it does when I telnet in over ethernet (but I can't reset the switch over ethernet).
I've read through this thread thread1361-1077284: Nortel Baystack Switch 450-24T and tried everything I could, including changing the buffer stuff.
Please help.
