Telnet access fails

Pete13 — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 06:12:55 GMT

I have turned on a switch which I had not used for a couple of weeks. Tried to get Telnet access to it (using a previously saved session) but that didn't work.
I did a "hard" reset on the switch and connected again (tried speeds between 9600 &115200)but the session halts after the following message:

"Waiting for Speed Sense. Press twice to continue."

If I press enter twice nothing happens.

Hello,

what you are trying is not a telnet session, but a terminal session over serial console. Try to disable flow control in your terminal programm. Other serial settings: 9600, 8, N, 1

Cheers,

Michael

Hello,

sometimes you need to hit more then two times until it works. Check you serial settings, 9600,8,N,1 with no flow control should work.

Regards,
Patrick

Have closed this thread and reopend one with the proper title:

Terminal session access fails

Session settings are as you guys suggested (it has worked before) and I did try hitting Enter more than once.
