If the cause cannot be located in the steps above and the problem persists, contact your local sales

agent.

Garbled terminal display

If terminal display is garbled, To solve this problem:

1.

Make sure that the Data bits field is set to 8 for the console terminal. If the Data bits field is set to

5 or 6, the console terminal will display garbled characters.

2.

Make sure that the Bits per second field is set to 9600 kbps. An incorrect bits per second may also
cause the configuration terminal to display garbled characters.

No response from the serial port

If the serial port gives no response, check that the serial port settings are correct.

NOTE:

For more information about the serial port settings, see “

Setting terminal parameters

Password loss

CAUTION:

Dealing with console login password loss and user privilege level password loss from BootWare menus is
disruptive.

How to deal with console login password loss and user privilege level password loss depends on the

state of password recovery capability (see

Figure 65

). Password recovery capability controls console

user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from BootWare menus.

If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration
without authentication and configure new passwords.

If password recovery capability is disabled, a console user must restore the factory-default
configuration before configuring new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes
the main and backup next-startup configuration files.

To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.
