Using the Terminal Interface via Serial Port

The terminal interface can be accessed via the serial port for configura-
tion of the basic settings of the CABCONS1716I. While not intended to
be a substitute for the Web interface, it does allow you to configure similar
functions. The menu list below describes the options that can be modified
through the terminal interface.
Note that you must use the W option to confirm and apply any changes
made before you exit the terminal session.

The VNC Interface

There are three ways to communicate with the Server Remote Control
unit in order to control the host computer:
Web interface: The integrated Web server includes a Java-based VNC
client. This allows easy browser-based remote control.
Native VNC client: There are several third-party software programs that
use the standard VNC protocol, available in open source and commercial
VNC clients.
SSH access: By default, there is a standard SSH server running on port
22 (the standard SSH port). Once connected via SSH, the VNC traffic is
tunneled through the SSH connection andth VNC session is encrypted.
Each method will be discussed briefly in the following section. The type of
encryption method or client used is not critical.
