USB to Serial Adapter

[Jerry_Herzog]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good USB to Serial adapter that works well with Windows 8.1?

I've got the same driver version. Only difference I see is under advanced com3 settings, mine says flow control none.

I'm assuming you are using the console cable that came with the switches?

I forgot to mention that after uninstalling the driver, deleting the driver, and then installing the driver again, that I tried to console to the switch again, but no luck.

Yes, I installed the drivers a while back for the cable. Just today, I uninstalled the drivers and installed the drivers again from Startech. I am using driver version 2.12.28.0, which is the latest on Startech's site. Attached are screenshots of Device Manager and PuTTY. Any thoughts? Perhaps I have a bad cable? I will be out of the office for about a week, so I will respond back after that as soon as I can. Thanks for the help.

I use the FTDI chipset usb to serial, and works great, haven't had an issue. Did you load the drivers for the cable?
