Hello,
One of our Nortel 5520 Baystack switches has failed (no signs of power) and it just so happens we have a spare and the backup file of the failed one.
I wanted to just put a console cable into the front and add the config, but would you believe it I can't even do that. I can console into our Cisco kit absolutely fine, but this Nortel I get nothing pop up just a black screen (in putty), I would expect to see the Control-Y menu screen you get when you telnet onto these. I've tried putty, teraterm and Hyper terminal but i get nothing, I even tried it on a another working Nortel 5520 just in case the spare one we have is faulty, but no luck. How do you get onto these switches to configure?
Thanks
