Hello,
Got a strange problem... I use my mac laptop for serial console duty
all the time and have a keyspan usb dongle I can attach the cisco flat
serial console cable to and other 9 pin devices and get in and do my
thing. The ASR920 however has a straight usb serial and it doesn't
work %100 of the time with my laptop machines....
I am successful connecting to the ASR920 with a PC running linux and
using minicom, do initial setup etc. But if I use my mac laptop...
nope, I get nothing on the console. And I have another mac laptop (a
recent mac pro with usb-c connectors) and a dongle with usb3.0 and
nope that doesn't work either. I have another laptop running linux
mint, and it also can't work.. But then I booted that laptop with
windows... and yep, I can get in on the console just fine So, I don't
know what to make of this but clearly on the same hardware, windows
knows something that linux doesn't, and my desktop linux machine also
knows something the laptop doesn't as well.
Does anyone know of a fix or a trick here? I need a mobile machine
that can talk console and I can't drag a desktop machine around for
this job.

Mike,
The ASR920 has a USB Type A socket on the front that is wired for RS232
instead of USB-type signaling.
Are you using the cable from A920-CONS-KIT-S to connect to the serial
port?
I have no issues with my Mac + Keyspan dongle as long as I'm using that
cable.
