I have some APC UPS devices that I'm trying to log in to. They are currently configured to use telnet -- as a safety precaution, they can only be accessed from our 'bounce' machine. Because I want to do this from a script on my local machine, I'm doing it like this
This works fine on all the other devices I'm trying this on (Cisco gear, mostly) but the stupidAPCdevice won't take any input. I get the login prompt and when I type in my username, ssh echoes it but the APC doesn't appear to ever receive it. It just hangs there at the username prompt.
I've tried various options to massage telnet including
Code:
mode character
(and all the other modes) and
Code:
toggle crlf
but no joy. I'm wondering if there's something I need to do to ssh?
If I SSH in to the bounce machine and then telnet in two distinct steps it works fine but that won't do for this situation.
Finally, telnet says "Operating in obsolete linemode" which sounds like it might have something to do with something. Or something.
My local machine is linux running OpenSSH 5.5.
The bounce machine is FreeBSD 8.1
The device is an APC Smart-UPS RT 8000 RM XL running AOS 5.1.1
