Serial Console not working?

Trying to access the serial port on an ASG 220. I am on a laptop with a USB-Serial cable. since the ASG220 has male ends, and so does the Serial cable, I have a D-SUB 9 pin F to F adapter. It's like this:

Laptop --> USB to Serial Cable --> F to F Adapter --> ASG 220 port.

I have configured the hyperterminal session as recommended in the manual. However, when I try to connect, it's just blank. I cannot do anything and I cannot see anything.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about Astaro, but you often need a null modem cable (or adapter) for things like that.

Hoping someone at Astaro could clarify. It's great they tell you the parameters needed, now if they could just tell us what type of cable.

Barry's right, you normally need a null modem cable for a console connection.
