If you cannot see the main banner or it displays incorrectly, it may be that:

■Your terminal is not configured as a VT100 terminal. Check that your terminal is set up to operate with the same parameters that the hub’s console port uses. The console port’s autoconfigure option only operates if your terminal uses correct parameters. The maximum speed is 19200 baud. For information on the console port, see “Connecting a Modem to the Console Port” on page 5-13.

■Autoconfigure is disabled.

If you are unable to obtain the banner screen, it is possible that the autoconfigure option has been disabled. Check the configuration of the terminal.

If you cannot resolve the problem, refer to “Problems When Using VT100” on page 6-3 for more problem solving information.
