Access Server AS2511-RJ initial config

Hi there,
Any advice on setting up cables, and initial configuration of a AS2511-RJ as a multiple console for SW1, SW2 , R1, R2, R3.
Trying to set up the home lab.

Thanks

The ip host R6 2001 192.168.1.1 is where you will change according to your lab

R6 is the device name
2001 means it resides on port #1 on the 2511.

Also be sure you have a loopback interface enabled as shown below in the configuration.

As for cabling, connect a console cable (RJ to RJ) from each device to the corresponding port you have the 2511 configured for.

Scroll towards the bottom for some feature you will need to know to work with your access server (ie switche sessions, terminate sessions ect).

But something is missing in this program . After you get out from device A(Ctrl-Shift-6 then X) back to TS, you can't go back to the same device A, just by typing "1". You have to disconnect first (exit), and then by typing "1" you go to device A again.
What is supposedly to happen: Type a number (1-16) go to the device you want, get out with (C-S-6 X) then type an other number and go to that device.
It was set up without loopback and was not working, did fix that, but still is not fully operational.
Take a look if you have time.

What's the error you get when you try to go back into the device?
