I had a very similiar situation about a year ago trying to use the console port on on of our NMC's for configuration.. It ended up that the Ethernet port on the NIC was fine, and worked perfectly with the previous settings that were saved in NVRAM, but the console port would display NMC boot menu, then wouldnt allow input, and occasionally would also issue hyroglyphics amongst the screens.. Replaced the ethernet NIC and all was fine.. Try swapping your Ethernet NIC's over to see whether you can access it that way ( make sure you change the jumpers though ).. Hope this helps..

I have a TOTAL CONTROL which was working before. Now i have changed the provider and IP addresses. But i try to change them in TOTAL CONTROL; but it refuse to do it. I try to log in by Hyper Terminal from Windows. When i restart the TOTAL CONTROL, i receive all startup information. But as soon as i get the prompt, i can't enter any character! The keyboard seems to be blocked at that step. Do you know some reason. That should be really greatfull for me cause it's urgent. I have to resolve too early. I am waiting for your prompt reaction. Thanks a lot in advance. Best Regards, - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
