Chapter 9. TRANSEC Module SSH
9.1

Overview

This chapter describes the Command Line Interface (CLI) user menu system provided with the
DMD1050-T Satellite Modem's optional TRANSEC Module via a SSH (Secure Shell) interface.
The SSH interface allows you to change operating parameters similar to those found on the
TRANSEC Module HTTPS Interface. You can use the monitoring, configuration and control
operations available via the module's HTTPS Interface.
See Chapter 8 TRANSEC Module HTTPS Intergface, for detailed information about the
command functionality.

9.1.1 SSH User Access

When connecting via SSH, you must have network connectivity to the TRANSEC Module. This
connectivity can be via a local LAN, a remote LAN, or via a satellite link from another modem.
As in Chapter 8, PuTTY is used. It is a free and open source terminal emulator application used
as a serial console client for SSH, Telnet, rlogin and raw TCP computing protocols.
While the TRANSEC Module CLI main and nested screens are identical across terminal emulator
applications, setup can differ slightly. This chapter assumes you are familiar with the preferred
SSH interface.
Once connected to the TRANSEC Module via the SSH interface, you must enter a login name
and password (the defaults for both are comtech). Once a valid login and password are entered,
the CLI Main Menu opens. See Figure 9-1.
