[j-nsp] T-640 management ports

[German Martinez]

Hello,
According to Juniper' website the CIP card (Control Interface Card)
holds the management ports for Routing Engine 0 and Routing Engine 1.
Ports are grouped as Host0 and Host1.

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/t640/t640-hwguide/hw-cip.html#hw-re-ports

By default, the auxiliary port is disabled.  I enabled the auxiliary
port but I am not able to connect to the router using this port.

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/t640/t640-hwguide/pinouts-db9.html#pinouts-db9

According to the information above, both ports should work as RS-232
and have identical pinout.

I am trying to access the auxiliary port of my T-640 using a Cisco
2511 through reverse telnet.  My console connection on the same Cisco
2511 towards the same router is working without any problems.

The only difference between the console connection and the aux one is
that on the aux connection CTS and DSR are down:

#sh line 2

Is it possible to have both ports working one at the time?

Thanks
German
