Set Up Sdt Serial Ports On Console Server; Set Up Sdt Connector To Ssh Port Forward Over The Console Server Serial Port - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

Chapter 6: Secure SSH Tunneling & SDT Connector

6.10.2 Set up SDT Serial Ports on Console Server

To set up RDP (and VNC) forwarding on the Console Server's Serial Port that is connected to the Windows computer COM port:
• Select the Serial & Network: Serial Port menu option and click Edit (for the particular Serial Port that is connected to
the Windows computer COM port)
• On the SDT Settings menu, select SDT Mode (which will enable port forwarding and SSH tunneling) and enter a
Username and User Password.
Note: When you enable SDT, this will override all other Configuration protocols on that port
Note: If you leave the Username and User Password fields blank, they default to portXX and portXX where XX is the serial
port number. So the default username and password for Secure RDP over Port 2 is port02
• Ensure the Console Server Common Settings (Baud Rate, Flow Control) are the same as were set up on the Windows
computer COM port and click Apply
• RDP and VNC forwarding over serial ports is enabled on a Port basis. You can add Users who can have access to these
ports (or reconfigure User profiles) by selecting Serial & Network :User & Groups menu tag - as described earlier in
Chapter 4 Configuring Serial Ports

6.10.3 Set up SDT Connector to SSH port forward over the Console Server Serial Port

In the SDT Connector software running on your remote computer, specify the gateway IP address of your Console Server and a
username/password for a user you have setup on the Console Server that has access to the desired port.
Next, add a New SDT Host. In the Host address you need to put portxx where xx = the port to which you are connecting.
Example, for port 3 you would have a Host Address of: port03 and then select the RDP Service check box.
