Issues using 3825 Router with ASYNC NM-16 Card

[rmott19811]

Newbie question here guys, appreciate your patience.

So I'm trying to use a Cisco 3825 (Router0) router with a ASYNC 16-NM module w/ octal cable for my terminal server.  I've read through the document located here:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/dial-access/asynchronous-connections/5466-comm-server.html

but still I cannot connect to other routers via the console ports.

Cisco 3825 router iOS is Version 15.1(4)M9. and it is connect to 3 other routers, 2 - Cisco 2811's and a Cisco 1841. (Router1, Router2, and Router3 respectively)

My config for the 3825 is attached.  Thing is, I cannot get transport input telnet on the other console ports - it doesn't recognize the command.  I've read that certain iOS's prohibit/dont support transport input on the console ports.

Is it my config or is it a hardware conflict preventing me from using my 3825 as a terminal server?

Any and all help here is appreciated, thank you all so very much!

Georg -

I added those and I still cannot receive the same error.  I changed the loopback IP to a 172. and all of my ip hosts are configured as such.

Router0#router1
Trying Router1 (172.10.1.1, 2001)...
% Connection refused by remote host

Line(s) not in async mode -or- with no hardware support:
2-65, 82-577

Hello,

your Async module is installed in slot one, so the line number start at 66. Try:

ip host Router1 2066 10.1.1.1
ip host Router2 2067 10.1.1.1
ip host Router3 2068 10.1.1.1
ip host Switch1 2069 10.1.1.1
ip host Switch2 2070 10.1.1.1
ip host Switch3 2071 10.1.1.1
ip host Switch4 2072 10.1.1.1
