Well it would appear that your keypresses are not getting to
the switch or are not being passed to the
console process inside the switch.

Check you console cable, PC, etc.
check software settings on terminal software.
Handshaking? I always use "No Handshaking".

I don't suppose that your transmit and receive baud
rate could be different? It is possible to
set assymetric rates on routers I think.

It is possible that your supervisor card is broken
but I have never seen that.

 

Why 0x2101 ?
May be 0x2102 ?
