Com port issue

Hi All,

 

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this issue but i would take the liberty as some of you might have that same problem.

 

I need to console access into a Cisco devices and the laptop HP elite does not have a serial port on it and hence i obtained a USB to Ethernet adapter ( comsol ) and trying to connect to the serial port on the Cisco box but there is no response. When i checked on the device manager i see that the port com3 shows the error code 34 and on another laptop shows code 12 (tried all the suggested steps updating device drivers, uninstall / reinstall, regkey edit etc etc) but none seem to make it work. Is the adaptor not compatible or do i need to get a USB to SERIAL adaptor ?

Hi,

To console into the router, you need a USB to Serial adaptor.

 

Thanks
