USB to Serial adapter connection

[cisco steps]

I have a iBook G4. Console cable, and USB to Serial adapter cable. I would like to be able to console into a Cisco router, I am using Zterm as was recommanded early for Hyperterminal. it seems that the connection is there. when I click on the Zterm app I get a blank white screen with

ATE1 V1

OK

-

any one have any idea how to use this terminal or help get connected

I know that I can use Terminal to telnet into the router, but I need to console in first to set up the basic configuration.

Thanks

Hi! Mohamedmahmoud:

I have the same problem with this usb-serial cable.  I install Prolific driver for windows XP.  I still do not get any thing display in my Tera Term.  The driver is install correctly, displayed in my Driver Manager.  I am running out of idea what will make it work.

Please help!

Thanks!
