Switch HP-Procurve – Cannot Access Serial Connection with Putty to the HP Procurve 2524

hp-procurveswitch

I tried connecting to the switch console. But I always get black screen and can't type anything. I changed the speed to different values ( | 1200 | 2400 | 4800 | 9600 | 19200 |38400 | 57600), I still get the same black screen.

Probably the baud rate is fixed to something you didn't try. If you can run a telnet or ssh session, you can check the serial console setting with show console.

You can reset to default settings by

console baud-rate speed-sense
console flow-control xon/xoff
console local-terminal vt100
