What to Do if the Login Screen Does Not Appear When Using a Console.
1 Check the configuration of the terminal. The correct values are given in chapter 2. Is the PC’s COM port
enabled? Is the Console cable being used? See Chapter 2 for instructions on which cables go where.
2 Check to see if the router booted correctly. Before the login screen appears, boot messages should
appear on the screen. If the system halts while booting, the last message on the screen should give an
indication of what went wrong.
3 While the router is booting, the LEDs labeled CPU, Tx, Rx and GP indicate the stage of the boot process,
as shown in Figure A.1. When the router has started up properly, the CPU LED blinks consistently one
second on, one second off.
