Edge-Core Switch Serial Port problem

[Alex0220]

My edge-core Switch that I got from eBay(New) has a problem with the serial port.



I set the baud rate and everything else as exptected in the manual(115200) but it only shows me garbled/junk characters. I can see a linux booting from the way and the speed the characters are printed in the console.

I also tried different baud rates but none worked.

I hope somebody can help me here. Thanks.

I don't think it's so much a problem with the serial port as with your terminal software. You need to set your terminal software to use LF as the newline character, rather than CRLF.

Someone on ui.com had the same issue and the root cause was a bad cable.

Troubleshooting 101:

• Try cable on another device. If it doesn't work, it's the cable or any component thereof.
• If it works, then it's the port on your switch.

Ok, I'll try both of your tips today.
