Let me take a hit at it... it's not one my favorite
terms...

Typically for 'reverse telnet' one configures a static
host table on the router pointing to a loopback IP
address on a certain port. The port # being the line #
on the router. So one can simply type r1, etc at
prompt then the router telnets to port 20xx and you
make your connection the device hanging off that line.
I think redirection is a better term actually but
that's me.
You don't need a host table (it makes things easier
for repeated use). You can simply do 'telnet
ip-of-router 20xx' from the router or any PC/etc to
get to devices hanging off the router.
Use 'show line' to get the line # and add 2000 to it
for the TCP port # mapped to that line.
