NOTE:
The console firmware terminal type is currently set to "hp". If you
are using any other type of terminal you will see "garbage" on the
screen following this message.
If this is the case, you will need to either change the terminal type
set in the firmware via GSP (if your GSP firmware version supports
this feature), or change your terminal emulation to match the
firmware. In either case you will need to restart if your terminal and
the firmware terminal type do not match.
Press the 'b' key if you want to reboot now.

Hi,
If you have L or N class systems it directly works with the default settings of hyperterm in windows.
Or else Try
Hyperterm of windows,with the following settings:
8N1/9600bps w/o any flow control (neither RTS/CTS nor XON/XOFF).

(8-bit,N=No parity,1=stop Bit)

You just require a serial cross cable for this which is used in most of the CISCO routers.

Does putty support serial connections ?. Why not try the hyper terminal or a serial dumb terminal ?

I use Putty - are you connecting to the console through the lan enabled GSP?

What is your "Terminal-type string" set to under "Connection"?

Have you changed any defaults at all in Putty? What version are you using? .53b?

As you're using putty, I guess you're telneting to the LAN console address.

The error you're getting is that the console is configured for termtype hp, but putty doesn't support that.

If you type ^B (Control-B) you should then be able to enter the command ca which will allow you to change the terminal type of the console (among other things). Change it to vt100, which putty does support and then you can re-run your install.

Hello folks,

I resoloved my errors by changing console type from "hpterm" to "vt100". Thanks for all your help.
