4. If the screen is not displayed, check that the console cables are connected,
and that power is on, then try again to connect.
Other possible causes of a faulty console setup are as follows:
• The console is set to 1200 bps instead of 2400.
• The cable adapter
PIN
54F0490 is plugged wrongly. Check that the arrow
on the adapter pOints toward the console.
• The 3151 console is set up in both native and emulation modes.
If the problem continues, refer to the Problem Determination Guide, SA33-0096.
Note: You can also diagnose problems by using the console link test, as
described in the Problem Determination Guide.
