HOW TO CONNECT A CISCO 851 W TO A LAPTOP
#1
Ladies and gentlemen, I am stuck here. I bought a Cisco 851 W switch, and I would like to start using it but I do not have what it takes to connect this switch to my laptop. Could you please let me know what connector I need to buy for this to work? I read somewhere where they said I had to buy a serial to USB adapter but I have bought 3 already and they do not connect with my laptop. Please let me know how I go about this. I am just trying to run away from having to use a pc for my practice. HEEEEEELP, PLEEEEEASE!!

here's a video that shows you how to do it...

you don't have to use the cable/adapter that he uses in the video, you can purchase a "console" cable that is complete.

good luck
