Telnet prompt access SUN systems remotely 1

[SteveR77]

I have recently installed Avocent's Cyclades ACS in my environment and have connected four SUN servers to it.
2 systems are E250 and 2 are Netra T1s.

When I telnet to the advanced console server and pass the port number for 3 of the 4 servers it appears that the connection hangs until I send a break signal and then I am presented with a telnet prompt and unable to log in to the systems as I expect I should be able to.

I am not sure what I am missing as the E250 are connected via serial port A and the Netra T1s are connected to serial A (LOM) port.

Thank you for your assistance and make it a great day.

RESOLUTION -

The network cable for the E250 was bad.

In the case of the Netra T1s, I need to verify null modem cable vs. crossover. In this case I believe I will need the crossover cable to make this work.
