Hi LQ

Best wishes for everybody

I'm currently trying to contact a HP Procurve 2524 with Python using serial module.
Everything is fine, except i do have the following thing.

E[?25h[?25hHP2524TEST# [?25h

a print "buf =%r" % self.buf can format to give the following

'\x1b[24;0H\x1bE\x1b[24;1H\x1b[24;13H\x1b[24;1H\x1b[2K\x1b[24;1H\x1b[?25h\x1b[24;1H\x1b[1;24r\x1b[24;1H\x1b[1;24r\x1b[24;1H\x1b[24;1H\x1b[2K\x1b[24;1H\x1b[?25h\x1b[24;1H\x1b[24;1HHP2524TEST# \x1b[24;1H\x1b[24;13H\x1b[24;1H\x1b[?25h\x1b[24;13H'

We can clearly see the switch temporary name ( HP2524TEST ) but i don't know how to interpret the rest. ( \x1b seems to delimit a packet ).

I've tried to navigate unsuccesfully into HP internet site, any idea ?

What you are seeing is VT100 ESC sequences. These sequences are/were used to position text on a computer
terminal. VT100 is/was a computer terminal built by DEC. A terminal is basically a monitor, keyboard that
connects to a server using RS-232 (serial port). The Console or termial window is a terminal emulator
(xterm etc) and the name is a carry over from these devices. VT100 is typically the default setting for
terminal emulators.

0x1B is the hex code for Esc, Esc[24;0H means move the cursor to row 24, column 0.

You are a star ! Will then create a class to convert it ... Tks a bunch

>with Python using serial module.
What library did you use to connect with switch?
I have same problem when I use paramiko.
Maybe you connect to switch different way. How did you connect?
