I got to the root of the problem yesterday. Someone had borrowed my USB/Serial adaptor to connector to connect to what they thought was a serial port on a power supply. That port was not a serial port and had power on certain pins which damaged the adaptor. I was able to see messages coming from the router but I could not send anything to it. The LEDs on the device indicated that I was transmitting and receiving. I guess LEDs come before whatever component broke.

Try with other Terminals like putty, hyperTerminal ... sometimes I faced the same issue with Cisco APs and switched to HyperTerminal then everything was working fine.

I've got a 7206VXR with an NPE-400 and an I/O 2FE/E card. Using a Belkin USB to Serial adaptor I can watch the router boot and get to the Press Return to get Started prompt. After I hit return the interfaces go up and then admin down. After that I can't get anything out of the console. I can insert and remove a DS3 card and I will see a message saying the card was inserted and removed but I can't interact with the box. I've connected to a 3550 I have laying here and I am able to get a console session going with it. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? Everything I am googleing relates to the router crashing or hanging which this one does not seem to do.
