Cisco C1400 FDDI/CDDI Concentrator

Tested the C1400 working on 27/08/2022 to later use with the 3x DS20 cluster

Notes:

1. Console does NOT use the classic Cisco flat console cable. Use an ethernet cable with DB9 terminal converter instead.

2. Cisco "enable" mode password may be empty, at least on old hardware. Always try an empty password at first when using a console port, not to waste time in resetting the password or guessing what it may be.
