I have two TS-7250s that haven't been used for three
years. Tonight, I connected one to a serial port and the
home Ethernet (cable). When I plugged the power, the
serial terminal displayed the bootup messages, then
stopped after the 'login' prompt. However, the 7250 didn't
respond when I entered 'root'. The Ethernet jack lights
were both on, and one flashed occasionally.
I tried to ping the 7250, but it didn't respond. I tried
to telnet into it, but no response.
I switched go the other 7250, and was able to ping and
telnet just fine. The serial login didn't work, and I
suspect the USB-serial cable and/or the Windows
HyperTerminal in both cases.
Any idea what might be wrong with the first 7250, and how
I can fix it?
Thanks.
Mike
