3Com Router 3012 - Illegible Characters Display on the Terminal after Power-On

50 CHAPTER 5: TROUBLESHOOTING
Illegible Characters
Display on the
Terminal after
Power-On
If the system operates normally after the system runs the POST, the start-up
information is displayed on the console terminal. If the configuration system has a
fault, the terminal may display only illegible characters.
If the console terminal displays illegible characters after the POST, verify that the
HyperTerminal parameters are set properly, as follows:
■ Baud: 9600
■ Data bits: 8
■ Stop bit: 1
■ Parity: None
■ Flow control: None
■ Terminal emulation: VT100
If the parameter settings do not match these values, reconfigure them.
