About SSH

Secure Shell (SSH) is both a computer program and an associated network protocol designed
for logging into and executing commands on a networked computer. SSH provides secure
encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. Avaya
recommends using SSH instead of Telnet for most interactive connections to the Avaya media
servers and other devices on a customer's network.
To use SSH, a third-party SSH client must be installed on your computer. PuTTY is one such
client available for download from http://www.putty.nl/download.html.
Devices that can be accessed with SSH include:
Media servers on Release 3.1 of Communication Manager: S8300, S8400, S8500,
●

!
Important:
G700 does not allow the use of SSH. From within a media server's Linux
Important:
command line, you can use SSH to access the G250 and G350, but you must use
telnet to access the G700. In this case, the server is the SSH client, not PuTTY.
