Console Server Mode

Select Console Server Mode to enable remote management access to the serial console that is attached to the serial port:
Logging Level This specifies the level of information to be logged and monitored (refer to Chapter 7 - Alerts and Logging)
Telnet Check to enable Telnet access to the serial port. When enabled, a Telnet client on a User or Administrator's
computer can connect to a serial device attached to this serial port on the Console Server. The default port
address is IP Address _ Port (2000 + serial port #) i.e. 2001 – 2048
Telnet communications are unencrypted, so this protocol is generally recommended for local connections
only. However, if the remote communications are being tunneled with SDT Connector, then Telnet can be
used to securely access these attached devices (see Note below).
With Win2000/XP/NT you can run Telnet from the command prompt (cmd.exe). Vista comes with a Telnet
client and server but they are not enabled by default. To enable Telnet, simply:
• Log in as Admin and go to Start/ Control Panel/Programs and Features
• Select Turn Windows Features On or Off, check the Telnet Client and click OK
