Switch Console Freezing in PuTTy

[LuckyAce]

I've been trying to log into the switch board through PuTTy on my computer, most of the time when puTTy opens it has a blank console, but a couple times on log in I get a few messeges saying "starting...." and once got a boot messege but it seemed to get stuck in an infinite loop with the boot messege being restated every few minutes with it stating "starting..." intermeidatly.

The current settings on puTTy are the following:  Speed 19200,  Data bits 8, Stop bits 1, Parity None, Flow control none, and terminal-type string VT100.

The switch itself is a 3com 5500G-EI

What model switch do you have?

[LuckyAce]

The switch model number is 3CR17255-91

Sounds like the problem is the switch, not your Putty.

[VoIP-Buddy]

Yup!  Sounds like loop crashing to me.
