SSH
The procedure in this section shows how to use SSH to log on to the media server from a
Services laptop computer. SSH is the recommended method for media server access. To use
this procedure with a cable connection from the computer to the Services port, you must
configure the computer for the network connection.
To use SSH, a third-party SSH client must be installed on your computer. PuTTY is one such
client. You can download PuTTY from http://www.putty.nl/download.html. The following
procedure describes, as an example of SSH access, how to log on to the server command line
with PuTTY.
Note:
A version of PuTTY that is defaulted for SSH server access is available for Avaya
