Use the following steps to troubleshoot the symptom of no output at the switch console:
1. Verify a straight-through cable is connected to the switch console port. To connect the switch's console
port to a PC, use the included DB-9 connector.
2. Verify your terminal emulation software is set to the following values (Note: If you are using
Hyperterminal, select Restore Defaults to configure these values.):
Figure 18-268. Using the show serial Command to Determine Terminal Settings
