Cisco 2509 Access Server Help!

[Phi486]

Hello,
I am a newbie to this server and have been having difficulties to get this AS-2509 to work. It gets hung up when I input R1 or R2... There are several similar cases posted in this forum, but I can't seem to find one that works for me? I'll greatly appreciate if anyone could help me here. I wonder if this configuration is wrong or missing something that I don't know? Do I need to configure the Asycn line speed from 1 to 8 and how? Please instruct me for any additional steps if necessary. Thankyou very much!

You mean to get rid of "translating", and get straight to the "open"?
router(config)#ip host r1 10.4.4.4
I think...
Then,
router(config)#no ip domain lookup

Try these...never had experience with an access server...

Hi Burt,
I should be more specific in my question. The problem that I have is that I can't get access to other routers from this access server 2509 when inputing R1, R2... The AS-2509 just sits there forever??? it should take me to another routers instead.

Thanks for trying anyway!

Well, you have to reverse telnet, and from the output you posted, it says it tries it, then the connection is open on port 2001.

run the command sh line. Ensure that your lines are not currently utilized and if so, run command (clear line 2001) or whatever line number is in use. Once lines are cleared, you should not have an issue. Your config looks correct so this may be the issue. I am going to throw a question out there for ya. Are you 100% positive that your devices are on the correct lines? when using your octal cables, ensure that your devices are on the correct ports.

Hello All,
Thanks for all the helps! The problem has been solved after I replaced the Octal cable. Perhaps I should not trust those sellers at eBay 100% when they said items were tested! Regardless, I wonder if there is a direct way to go from one device to another without getting back to the access-server first? I mean Ctrl-shift-6-x.
