USG40 - Connect console port for CLI

Aleftau

Hello,
I have a Zyxel USG40.
In web administration console i mistakenly activated "Authenticate Client Certificates "in" System / WWW / service control ", and I can no longer log into the administration interface.
I'm trying to log into the CLI to manually disable this setting, but I don't know how:
- The console port is an ethernet connector and not an RS232 ?
- I connected an Ethernet / RS232 cable and connected with Hyper terminal (115200-8 bits-no parity-1 stop bit-no flowcontrl) but I do not see anything on the console, even when restarting the USG40 ?
However it seems to me that the connection works because when I send a character it seems to answer me with another character?
=> Can you tell me what I can do because I am really stuck!
Thank you,
Truly,
Gilles

Here are the serial settings for my zywall:

Speed: 115200
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow control: XON/XOF


After loggin in, if you have the credentials execute:

configure terminal
no ip http secure-server auth-client

Don't close serial connection, but check the Web access. If everything is ok, execute "write" in the console terminal and exit the serial console connection.

Regards,
A.

PS: for sure consult the CLI manual for your device and firmware.

Thank's a lot annoying_t34 for your answer.

But it don't work for me : Not possible to connect my terminal (tera term for exemple) to the USG40

I try with your config but the same (Xon / Xoff or None for flow control)

I think I have a bad cable RJ45 / RS232 (the port cable is RJ45 on the USG40 !)

-> But I don't know how to pinout the cable, and don't find documentation about this cable !?

Do you know how is this cable broached ?

Best regards,

Gilles
