asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Has anyone connected to 7960 with console cablefor setup?

The 'console' port or RS232 port is used to connect the 7914
sidecar, which does not work with the SIP firmware.

The 7960 does have a serial console port but I've never attempted to
use it, so not a clue what it expects to see. Most Cisco hardware
console ports default to 9600 no parity, 1 stop bit, no hardware flow
control. Might try that.
