Hi all,
I'm working setup a Xyplex MAXserver 1620, 20 port serial port
terminal server for use with conserver 7.2.2. I've managed to do the
basic configuration on the MAXserver, and it's on the network and I
can telnet to various ports and access system consoles by hand, but
with some problems.
1. The spacebar doesn't work, at all.
2. When I hit return, I get two carriage returns and/or two prompts.
I've been playing with the settings and looking at the docs I found on
the net for "Configuring MX Access Server ports for Attached Console
Devices", but it hasn't helped here.
I'm talking to a Sun E4000 on port 1. Here's the status of the port
from the Xyplex:
Xyplex>> show port 1

Xyplex>>
I've fiddled with various Flow Control and Modem Control settings to
no avail. Could it be a problem with the serial cables/connectors
that I'm using? The fact that I'm seeing data without any problems
suggests no, but not having "space" or other characters is wierd.
Has anyone else gotten this type of terminal server to work properly?
Thanks,
John
