Access procedure

To access a device over a secure SSH session, proceed as follows:
1. Set up your SSH client software to connect to the ip address of the Console Server
and set socket number for the correct port.
2. Setup your SSH client software to match the SSH protocol version that is
configured on the Console Server unit.
3. A Console Server login prompt will appear and you can enter your user name.
NOTE: In order to provide a secure SSH connection across the LAN the Console
Server login prompt can be delayed by a few seconds as the secure line is being
negotiated.
4. A password prompt will appear and you can enter your password.
You will now be connected to the port over a secure SSH LAN connection.
