I'm trying to set up a 3com SuperStack 3 24 port switch (3300 series). I would like to set up the web interface. From reading the manual I gather I need 2 things to do this. 1) A compatible '9 pin d type connector' 2) I must be running 'serial line interface protocol (slip)' using the included 'serial web utility' I'm having some trouble with this. First the cable, is it just a serial cable or do I need something special, will I need special hard ware in my computer? Also the slip utility included says its for win95/98, is their a new version or can I use that version (I'm running winXP pro and win2K). Is there a way to turn on the web interface without the cable/slip utility?
We have a 3Com SuperStack II Netbuilder router that I'm trying to connect to through a console port in order to setup IP Network Management access. I'm using a known good cable to connect to the console port from the COM1 port on my workstation. I've set Hyperterminal to: Baud : 9600 Data bits : 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: None Emulation: VT100
When I attempt to connect, I never get a login screen. Double clicking twice gives me two beeps and nothing else. Is there a setting I have wrong, or am I required to use the Serial Web Utility mentioned in the documentation for the router that is now impossible to find on the 3Com website? If so, where do I find this utility to download?
