Nice for you but i dont think i can get a replacement that easily. It was purchased in the UK about 2yrs ago &taken to West Africa. it had been in service for about a year.

Connected using the hardware flow control 8 pinout (no loop).

I'm not a novice with computers. Used both putty & realterm. Using a win7 os. Was able to make the serial cable but got no info when connected to the rb1000 console. Baud,bit etc are correct. Did a software reset but still no response.

I have read all posts on reset but i still cant get it to boot. It only shows blue indicator light & does not boot. I cant connect through the serial console yet. I have made a cable according to the pinouts in the console section but its not clear which goes into the router. Someone kindly help
