Telnet/SSH

Use the Telnet or SSH protocol to connect to any AirLink device and send AT
commands.
A secure mechanism to connect remote clients is a requirement for many users.
In ACEmanager, Secure Shell (SSH) is supported to ensure confidentiality of the
information and make the communication less susceptible to snooping and
man-in-the-middle attacks. SSH also provides for mutual authentication of the
data connection.
For information on configuring an AirLink device to use SSH or Telnet to access a
connected serial device, see
Figure 8-13: ACEmanager: Services >Telnet/SSH
