Cisco 1605 Console

I pick-up a 1605-R off ebay. I've got a T1 coming in about 2 weeks
for our Asterisk server. I tried to get it to talk to me using 9600,
8 bit, 1 stop no flow control (hyper terminal) and I see nothing
during boot or afterwards from the console port.
I assume the cable is standard RS-232. The cable works with other
devices. The lights seem normal with OK after boot.
Any ideas I should try?

Have you searched Cisco's site?

It is not clear whether your serial and, or console cable working fine
with other Cisco devices.

If there no help available at Cisco, try starting with 1200 baud and go
up one by one 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 on live
1605 box, in none of the above brings your any connectivity you may need
change your cable between cross and, or straight models (Hint: test
your current cable with a multi-meter, it should be a _cross_ if all the
pins are not 1 is to 1, straight otherwise).

Though not related to Cisco devices, but you may find good information
on standard serial cables, particularly the Pinouts and Signals at:

Hope that helps,
