I have just aquired a used Nortell BayStack 450-24T Switch. It is a managed switch.
This thing did get some water dumped last winter (leak in the roof).
I just pulled it out of the closet and plugged it in to see if it'd work. It powers up, does a post, etc.

I have no idea how to configure it yet. I have the userguide... but I can't seem to connect.

I'm using hyper term, a serial cable from com1 on my pc to com port on switch, vt100 emulation, 9600,8,none,1, none.

Can someone have a look at this site and let me know if they are the correct settings? The userguide for the switch says xon/xoff for flow control, but this site says none. Neither of them work...

Also, when I power it on, all the ports just flash yellow/amber. Is that normal? There is nothing plugged into it yet...

Anyone here have any experience with these things? Any quick tips/tricks/advise?
