George,

in router1 you need to set the aux-port to have the same settings
as the console line of router2 (9600baud 8bit 1stop noparity is std)

this is done with

line aux 0
stopbits 1
databits 8
speed 9600
parity none

you want to make sure that console output of router2 is not interpreted
as login-attepmt to router1 so you add

line aux 0
no exec

eventually the aux-port was used to hold a ppp-modem connection, and
there is still a async-interface configured ... this needs to be deleted.
To find out the name ... do a

show line

the output should contain one line with Typ=AUX and a
certain Tty number.

do a
no interface Async XXX
where XXX is the Tty-number of the output of "show line".

Now, your AUX-line is prepared to be used.
Connect to your local AUX-line by
- telnetting to router1 and then (within router1)
telnet ROUTER1_IP 2000+XXX
ROUTER1_IP is router1's IP-address
2000+XXX is Number XXX plus 2000 so ... if XXX was 5 then use 2005

- If no accesslist is denying it
telnet router1 2000+XXX
from elsewhere in your network. (This should connect the telnet to the
AUX-port.)

Remember one other thing: for the connection from
router1-AUX to router2-CON ...
you need a _rollover_ cable !!!
not a straight cable,
and not a LAN-crossover cable.

(rollover is 1-8 2-7 3-6 4-5 5-4 6-3 7-2 8-1)
(straigh is 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8)
(crossover is 1-3 3-1 2-6 6-2)

hope this helps ... Rainer

George,

"show line" shows your aux-line as tty-1 therefore the corresponding
async-interface woule be "interface async 1" ...
if this interface does not exist in your config everything is already
in order. If it exists, you have to delete it with

conf term
no int asy 1
exit

Now, try a telnet your_routers_ip 2001

your_routers_ip is the ip-address of one of your
local interfaces (except NUL).
