Title: Connecting to a Nokia IP330 firewall to a PC
Post by: reddevilggg on July 27, 2013, 02:55:53 PM

I have a Nokia IP330 that i'm attempting to reset to factory default, yet nothing comes through the Hyper-terminal. I've connected them using a serial female DB9 to female DB9 (same as this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320993934459?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320993934459?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) ). Opened the hyper-terminal, and set the bit per second to 9600. When i switch on the machine, nothing happens. Just a flashing cursor at the top left of the hyper-terminal.

Any ideas?

The only thing i've found on the net was this link -

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=603.0;wap2 (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=603.0;wap2)

Which gives the instruction -

Quote
1.Connect the cable to you first serial port(com1 usually the top one if you have 2) on the back of your PC. You must make sure the serial port is enabbled in the bios of the PC
2. connect the other end of the null modem cable to the consule port(not the serial port) of the NOKIA (do not turn on yet)
3. On your PC open hyper terminal and create a new connection choose com1 and make sure of the following settings
Bits per second 9600
Data bits 8
Parity NONE
Stop bits 1
Flow control Hardware
Hit ok and you should see a blinking curser in the uper left hand corner.
4. Now turn on the NOKIA and you should see the bootup in the hyper terminal screen.

Which i have done to the letter, yet still nothing shows up in the hyper-terminal

I'm at a loss....  :-X
