Why SecureCRT console cannot work well in Cisco Access Point?

[wfqk]

Hi Putty console can logon to AP1140 and WLC. Why SecureCRT console cannot work well. Sometimes CRT cannot logon to AP1400 at all. Even if logon to the AP, I cannot type any thing at all. Thank you

Currently, I'm using the CRT Version 7.1.1 (x64 build 264) and I didn't have problems with any Cisco Device.

Thanks for your reply. I just checked my version. It is "7.1.2（build 316)"

The CRT can always work very well for all Cisco device, but it cannot work well for my AP and wlc4400. I found an article which says that after upgrade ios for wlc, it would resolve the issue. But I could not see any article talking about the same issue on AP.

I've used SecureCRT for more than 10 years.  I have no issues.  I have even used this when configuring 440X.  

Just remember that the console "port" of the 440X is cross-over serial port.  If your cable is broken then it's you'll need to get one of these ancient adaptors.

If you have issues with the serial connection, make sure you have disabled RTS/CTS and so on.

These are my settings and work fine:

I just had this same problem lol. Yes disable RTS/CTS and you should be able to reach AP command line

I faced this issue with SecureCRT version 9 on the Cisco Switch 9200L. I fixed it by disabling DTR/DSR and RTS/CTS.
