Access Server

[Chad Campbell]

I configured an access server I just got, but I only been able to connect to it twice, I attached a screenshot of what I see most of the time, once I am connected it shows open but nothing happens I try press enter twice but it still do not show anything from the router.

The only way I can disconnect from the "Trying R1 (1.1.1.1, 2001)... Open" is by doing the ctrl shift 6 x, so I am assuming I am connected but cannot do anything.

Please someone help when you have time, I am a newbie.

Thanks,

Chad

What is connected on port 1?  A modem?  A console port of another router?

If it is a router console, you need a rollover cable.  An ethernet cable or straight through cable will not do.

If there is an async device attached, here are the list of possible issues:

• A wiring issue - transmit and receive leads reversed (DTE connector where it should be DCE or vide versa)
• Speed mismatch (port speed detault to 9600 bps)
• Modem control issue - device is expecting DTR/CD to be asserted
• Flowcontrol issue - Device is expecting to see CTS/RTS asserted
