Question console connection to ultra 2

I have a ultra 2 enterprise server without a video card. I tried to connect my PC to the sun box through console ports using hyperterminal with the standard setting(9600, 8, N, 1) but failed. The cable I used is a DB9 female--DB25 male null modem cable. Using the same setting and cable, I could make connection to a cisco switch though. Any help will be appreciated.

Hammer & Screwdriver This configuration works !

You have to use this cable configuration:


25 pol. Sub-D male (Serial interface OMP)
TxD RxD DSR GND DTR
2 3 6 7 20


2 3 4 5 6
RxD TxD DTR GND DSR
9 pol. Sub-D female (COM interface of PC/Laptop)
