Based on the information you provided, you are using the correct terminal setting for this switch which is baud rate: 9,600 bps • Data bits: 8 • Parity: none • Stop bit: 1 • Flow control: none (9600 8N1 none). Considering the connection work with other Cisco equipment but on this switch, only output is seen but not input, below are likely possibility
Most common reason for this.
1. Your cable is not properly wired for null-modem or connection TX pin is the loose contact. As you did not specify what cable is being used, If using Cisco console cable, I suggest converting it to Null modem first. https://www.instructables.com/id/Cisco-Console-to-Null-Modem-Serial-Adapter/
2. The RX pin on the switch side is bent or not working. If the switch was purchased by you for an authorized vendor, you can request a replacement through Support RMA process. Please visit the www.netgear.com/support/contact to register and get support case in order to contact support for RMA services.
