I understand the hardware priorities difference, but the rest was all greek to me. I am just a novice experimenting with these switches, and would like to learn more. I take it the BPS is more flexible than the 450 and would be the better choice? Thanks

Given the choice of these two switches, which is better? Kind of a broad question, but I don't need both and am selling the least configurable one. They both seem to function the same, but I've heard the 2000 has some quirks to it. Anyone out there worked with both? Thanks

I'm using XP. I tried the {esc} key and I don't get any response. I can see it boot up and go through it's tests, but I get no response from any keystroke. I verified the com port is good with an external modem and have tried both null modem and straight thru with the switch. Thanks again...

Thank you for all your help so far. I finally got a link with the switch, but now it won't accept any keystrokes. It goes through it's boot up and then says "Enter Ctrl-Y to begin." and just sits there. I am using Hyperterminal with 9600 8N1 and VT100 Emulation.

Thank you for the link to the manuals. I've gone through them and am still having trouble connecting via comm port. I bought another null modem cable and didn't have any luck. Is there a way to connect via tcp/ip? The manual says a web browser can access the setup page but I'm not having any...

I bought a null modem cable and tried those settings but still got no response. Is there a keystroke to make it respond? Is there a way to reset it to default without logging in like on a mobo with a jumper inside?

I have recently acquired a BPS2000 from a fire sale and would like to learn about it. I haven't been able to download a manual or figure out how to access it via the communication port. Hyper terminal doesn't connect and I'm not sure what else to use. Any leads on a manual would be great.
