out. So in my scenario I have a dumb terminal connected to one of the
suggested devices. On the other side I have the out of band serial
port controller for my RAID connected to a terminal server like the
Avocent. The Avocent is presenting the RAID controller as a telnet
session. Now how is hitting REIURN a few times on my dumb terminal
going to bring up a telnet session much less a telnet session to the
host I am interested in? Thanks.
Hitting return a few times on the terminal will get the attention of the
device; e.g. Raspberry Pi, that it's connected to.
Depending on how said device is configured, you will either get a login
prompt (e.g. getty+login) or a shell prompt (e.g. getty+shell).
Then you will tell said device to connect to the RAID array's
telnet/serial gateway. Nominally, this could be as simple as `telnet
<RAID-gateway-IP>`.
At least that's how I would configure things if I wanted to use a
traditional (dumb) terminal to be able to connect to multiple remote
devices. Talk to the serial /server/ and ask it to connect to the other
device on your behalf.
