Hi onlinejames,

If you have set an IP address you can access the web-interface through http://

If not then you need the black console cable and connect your PC directly to the switch consoleport and use a prg like Hyperterminal or TeraTerm (settings 9600,8,n,1,none).
Configuration guide is to be found on ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/2500-MgmtConfig-Oct2005-59692354.pdf

If you connect over the console then usually COM1, but that also depends on the PC that you use, if not COM1 try COM3.

I too have had problems with various terminal emulations talking to a few Procurve switch consoles. Maybe you can download either Hyperterm or Putty or another type of eumlator and try that.

I tried to attach the PDF here, but it is to big. I was just able to download the pointed to PDF so maybe if you try it again it will work.
