Perform the following checks to restore console access:
- Verify that a null modem (crossover) serial cable is in use. Straight-through cables do not work for this hardware.
- Check the serial terminal settings on the host computer:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None - Ensure the cable is connected to the correct serial port on the rear of the appliance.
- If the console remains unresponsive after verifying settings and cables, the hardware may have a failed serial controller.
If the hardware failure is confirmed, an RMA is required. Contact Support to initiate an RMA is required.
