Alcatel Unleashed

Hello all,

I have a problem when i connect my laptop on console port. It s about a OS6648, when I launch putty, I see some scriptures that appear, but so unreadable, with special characters.

Which types of cables is needed in order to connect on console port ?

Thanks for your answers.

Hi,
Console Port
The console port, located on the chassis front panel, provides a serial connection to the switch and is required when logging into the switch for the first time (refer to the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Getting Started Guide for more information). By default, this connector (a female DB-9 on OmniSwitch 6624 and 6648 switches and an RJ-45 port on OmniSwitch 6600-U24, 6600-P24, 6602-24, and 6602-48 switches) provides a DCE console connection.
Serial Connection Default Settings
The factory default settings for the serial connection are as follows:
baud rate 9600
parity none
data bits (word size) 8
stop bits 1
X-ON/X-OFF enabled !!
