Hi,
I'm trying to get the serial console to work. I'm running pfSense RC2, on the
hard drive on a PII Dell Optiplex, connected to my Windows XP machine with a
null modem cable. Connection settings are 9600/8/N/1/HW handshaking. I have
verified 2-way communication between the firewall box and the XP machine ('echo
"xx" > ttyxx' appears in HT; 'more ttyxx' displays text typed into HT), and
disconnected the keyboard, mouse, and monitor from the router. Here's my
problem:
I see the pfSense boot-up and shut-down messages in HyperTerminal. However,
once I get to the line "Bootup complete" I can't seem to do anything. I was
expecting to see the main console screen at this point, but nothing further
appears. When I reboot via the web configurator, I see the shutdown messages
in HyperTerminal. I've tried TTY, VT100, ANSI, and auto emulation modes. I've
also tried playing around with the flow control settings, but haven't seen any
difference. I'm guessing I have some kind of terminal misconfiguration, but
don't know where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
