Re: Start Console session
I have several different models of Procurve switches and some of them do OK with no handshake while others seem to want hardware handshake.

Re: Start Console session
Does that mean that I need a modem? I thought that I could just attach the serial cable to the computer and switch. Do I start Hyperterminal and configure those settings in there? The screen is blank and I cannot type anything in and I've tried hitting enter but nothing seems to happen. Does it take longer than a few minutes?
Thanks

Re: Start Console session
what you're looking for is a Terminal program (a software that emulates a classic video terminal on a multi purpose computer). There are a variety of such programs for a variety of OS, with Windows today you usually use Hyperterm (open a connection directly via COMx with 9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and NO flow control, then either watch the switch boot or go hammering CR). With Linux I prefer minicom. There is better software compared to Hyperterm (Powerterm or KEA!VT come to mind), but it is rather sufficient for setting up a ProCurve - any software will probably do as long as it has a somewhat decent VT100 emulation.
HTH,
Andre.

Re: Start Console session
... alternatively you can use DHCP. all pro curve switches search for a dhcp address by default and if you look on the box or the front sticker you find the management console mac address. if you have access to your dhcp configuration you can put a dynamic but uniquely defined IP configuration to the switch and then configure it via telnet manually.
this makes sense if you have a larger roll out ;o)
