I have two Netgear SRW224G4P switches with serial console ports. I'm using a Sabrent USB 2.0 to serial cable adapter with a female-to-female serial cable. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and using putty to connect. However, nothing appears in the console window. I do not get a 'press enter to begin' message, and if I press ender, nothing happens.

Linksys Srw224g4 Serial Port Settings

I am configuring a Linksys SRW2024 and accidently changed the management VLAN before changing the VLAN configuration. Thus, I can no longer access it.

The only way I have read to get into it now is via a console cable. The laptop I'm using right now (MacBook Pro) has no serial port. Given that I am currently unable to get my hands on a serial port adapter, I thought I would try on a Linux box.
I have a CentOS 5.4 server here (PowerEdge R300) that I am trying to use to talk to the switch.

I tried minicom first but I do not see the console. Another site suggested the screen Serial number session horns. command. I tried

but all I get is blinking cursor. I do not see the configuration. I don't know if anyone here as any tips but I hope someone does.

Thank You

I'll bet both your R300's serial port and the SRW2024's serial port are male DB-9 connectors, indicating that they are both DTEs (Data Terminal Equipment, like a VT100 terminal or a PC), indicating that you need a 'null modem' cable to connect them. Typical serial cables are for connecting DTEs to DCEs (Data Communications Equipment, such as modems). When you need to connect two DTEs together without a pair of modems and a phone line in between, you need a 'null modem' cable, which is what we call a serial cable wired for a direct DTE-DTE connection.

If you're already using a known good null modem cable between them, the next thing I'd try is seeing if maybe someone set the SRW2024's serial port to a different speed. I'd try 115200, 9600, 230400, and 57600.

Another thing to try is power-cycling the switch while watching the serial console (use the SRW2024's default of 38400 for this). I seem to remember that it uses the default serial port speed at boot time, and gives you some factory reset options at boot time, before it reads your saved settings. So maybe you can get in that way.
