Yes, my octal cable has RJG-45 ens, with each end numbered. I connected end #1 to RouterA, end #2 to RouterB and so forth. When I do "sh sessions" on the access server, I get "No connections open". When I try to connect to any of the routers through the access server, it says, "Trying RouterXA (172.16.1.1, 2001)... Open" and it hangs there indefinitely, even when I press "enter". It never connects to RouterX.
2509# RouterA Trying RouterA (172.16.1.1, 2001)... Open Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
