Hey Josh, I found a solution to that issue:the problem is how PuTTY handles backspace. The default value for this is Control-? (127). Changing it do Control-H fixes the issue.Inside the PuTTY configuration, simply head over to Terminal > Keyboard > The Backspace key and change it to Control-HDon't forget to apply the settings Kind regards Yannik
Hey there, our PowerConnect 5524 still does a weird thing: If hooked up to a serial console (with PuTTY; correct serial settings, cable is a Cisco DB9-RJ45 rollover), I can type characters just fine on the console - but there is no way of deleting them. It does not seem like a classical "You use the wrong cable"-situation to me. Both Cisco with their 72-3383-01 cable (DB9-RJ45) and DELL with their C206M cable claim to be a rollover-cable (which they aren't per definition) and share exactly the same pinout. Pinout C206M --> scroll down until "Rollover-pinout DB9 to RJ45" Pinout 72-3383-01  I just double checked with my multimeter - my cable (the Cisco one) has really the same pinout. Am I missing something? A "hidden setting" to turn on backspace? Kind regards
