I have a iBook G4. Console cable, and USB to Serial adapter cable. I would like to be able to console into a Cisco router, I am using Zterm as was recommanded early for Hyperterminal. it seems that the connection is there. when I click on the Zterm app I get a blank white screen with
ATE1 V1
OK
-
any one have any idea how to use this terminal or help get connected
I know that I can use Terminal to telnet into the router, but I need to console in first to set up the basic configuration.
Thanks

HI,
You can use "Hyperterminal" for this kind of Setup.
Setup as below:
------------------------
Bits per sec : 9600
Data bits : 8
Parity : none
Stop bits : 1
Flow control : none
PLS RATE if HELPS
Best Regards,

Hi Karim,
For Zterm, generally configure 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and you must select usbserial if you're using a usb-to-serial converter.

Hi Karim,
As illustrated in the link you've found, first you need to go to settings -> Modem Preferences -> select usbserial0 as the default modem and then edit your connection parameters as said in earlier posts, and it should be that simple.

Hey Karim,
How do you do :), you'll need to make sure that you've installed the driver for the usb-to-serial converter.
