ballbreaker Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just repaired power supply and LAN switch seems to be working. The switch is a Maginet SW2240M manufactured by SAMWOO Telecommunications Co., LTD. Label on back also states it is 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet QoS Switch. The switch has a console port in the form of a RJ45 jack on the front and I would like to connect old PC running WinXp using HyperTerminal. I've tried searching the web but have been unable to find any info on the switch. I identified the IC (as RS232 type)on switch main board that feeds the console RJ45 jack and traced IC connections to RJ45 jack and made up cable with following connections. DB9 RJ45 2----------3 3----------6 5----------4&5 Connect cable to switch console jack and Com 1 on PC. Configured HyperTerminal to Com 1, data bits 8, parity none, stop bit 1 and flow control to none. No luck getting switch to respond. Being new at networking what do I type to make switch respond? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 You should have at hand a known working console and connecting cable before attempting to connect to suspect hardware. If this switch is not faulty and you have a working serial port then it will reply with the settings you have shown. The switch will most likely have an IP address in the 10.x range. Personally I would throw a switch without readily available documentation in the trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the manual for your switch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Try setting your terminal to:- 9600 baud 8 data bits 1 stop bit No parity I've failed miserably to locate a manual online, without it you're likely to struggle to configure the beast ?
