SRX

Is it possible to use the supplied USB cable to give console access to an SRX?

I have downloaded the drivers to enable this but despite playing with the settings in SecureCRT, I am unable to get this functioning.

Does anyone use this method, and if so, what else will I need to do?

If you have installed the drivers and plugged the usb cable from your PC to the mini-USB port, does the serial port show up in you device manager? It should register itself as a COM port with next available number assigned (Eg. COM3).

Can you see it in the device manager with the right driver/function? (not showing up as an unknown device).

Sure, I can see it. I have played withe the settings in SecureCRT and cant get a live connection to it. These are my settings;

BAUD 38400

DATA: 8

PARITY: NONE

STOP BITS: 1

Is that correct?

The default settings are 9600 8N1.. So try changing your baud rate and revert with the result.

Success, thanks. Not working on a colleagues machine but working on mine 🙂
