  • Page 30: Connecting To Devices Using Ssh

    CPS Installer/User Guide The PPP dial-in may be used to access a remote CPS appliance that does not warrant a WAN (Wide Area Network) link to the Ethernet interface. In this case, the PPP connection allows a remote PC with Telnet capability to dial the CPS appliance and then establish a Telnet connection to a port. The PPP dial-in may also be used to access a subnet containing remote CPS devices in the event of a WAN link failure.
