Feature Request: Send Initial Carriage Return

It would be nice to have a "send initial carriage return" device option. This would be especially useful when connecting to a device attached to a terminal server. For example, when CatTools connects to the console port of Cisco switch (Cisco Switch IOS device type) via a Lantronix terminal server a CR is required to start sending data - i.e. receive a username/password prompt. I know support has created custom device scripts for customers, but this feature may solve a lot of those issues.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Have you tried using the Cisco.Terminal.Server device type for your Lantronix device?
I believe this device type script should already behave in this manner.

For help on how to setup the devices in CatTools, please see: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/dev_specificinfociscotermserv.htm

Please let me know if this works.

Regards,

Steve

That didn't work - error message: "Did not receive authentication from CiscoTermServ." The device is actually a Cisco 2960 (Cisco.Switch.IOS) connected to a Lantronix SLC terminal server. I'm running an older version of CatTools, though - 3.1.1. I'm in the process of upgrading the server from Win 2003 to 2008. When that's complete I plan to upgrade CatTools. Does the Cisco.Terminal.Server device script in 3.1.1 send an initial carriage return?
