  • Page 25: Connecting To Serial Devices

    Connecting to Serial Devices The CPS offers several methods for connecting to attached serial devices: Telnet, serial CLI, PPP and SSH. If a user attempts to connect to a port that is already in use, and if the user attempting to connect has an access level equal to or higher than the currently-connected user, the connecting user will be prompted with the choice of preempting the current user or dropping the connection.

  • Page 26: Connecting To Devices Using Telnet

    Data entered at the Telnet client is written to the attached serial device. Any data received by the CPS from the serial device is output to your Telnet client. You may access the CPS and its ports using Avocent-provided or third-party Telnet client applications.

  • Page 27: Connecting To Devices From The Serial Cli Port

    Standalone third-party Telnet clients You may use third-party Telnet clients to access the CPS directly without DS management software. Connecting to devices from the serial CLI port By factory default, port 1 of the CPS is configured with the serial CLI, which prohibits the use of port 1 with an attached serial device.

  • Page 28: Connecting To Devices Using Ppp

    CPS Installer/User Guide To end a device session that was initiated with a Connect command, issue a Disconnect command. DISCONNECT For more information, see Server CLI command, Connect Command and Disconnect Command in Chapter 5. Connecting to devices using PPP The CPS supports remote PPP access using an auto-answer modem that answers calls and establishes the PPP protocol with a dial-in client.

  • Page 37: Using Authentication And Encryption

    CPS user database and no encryption is used. DS authentication DS authentication uses an Avocent DS authentication service (DSAuth) to authenticate CPS users. Encryption is automatically enabled. You must specify either the IP address of a primary DS authentication server and optionally, the IP address of a secondary DS authentication server, or you must indicate that any DS authentication server may be used.
  • Page 38 CPS Installer/User Guide Local authentication Local authentication uses the CPS unit’s internal user database to authenticate users. RADIUS authentication RADIUS authentication uses an external third-party RADIUS server containing a user database to authenticate CPS users. The CPS, functioning as a RADIUS client, sends usernames and passwords to the RADIUS server.

  • Page 39: Authentication Summary

    This method cannot be used when SSH connections are enabled, nor can it be combined with any other authentication method. Authentication summary The CPS allows concurrent use of multiple authentication modes. This allows Telnet, SSH and DSView clients to all access a single CPS as long as the appropriate authentication methods are enabled.
