Silkworm 3800 Com port?

[vantseto]

I can't setup a com connection to the 3800. I plug in the com port and set it to 9600,8,n,1 but don't see anything on the screen.
Is there anything special to this? Anyone know how to reset the switch to factory defaults?

You'll need a serial cable from brocade or make your own with the correct pinouts to get console access.

If I remember right, they only use 3 pins. tx, rx and gnd. A null modem cable may not work. I had to recover a password on a few 3800's last month and couldn't get in w/ my null modem cable. If I see my notes on the pinouts again, I'll post it.

Thank you guys. This is great. I was ready to pull my hair...

Can anyone post a link to the brocade document with the right pinouts? I can make the cable, but need to know the proper pin connections?

Also,
any advice on changing the password?

THANK YOU ALL!!

Hi,
I attached a word doc with pin-outs, etc. in previous reply, but here it is again...

Brocade serial pin-out for cable connections:


DB9 to DB9
Pin2 to pin2
Pin3 to pin3
Pin5 to pin5


Use hyperterm

Baud 9600, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit and set terminal emulation to VT100 mode!!

Connect cable up to serial port and power on switch, selftest should echo to display
Regards,
