Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
Note: In Console Server mode, Users and Administrators can use SDT Connector to set up secure Telnet connections that are
SSH tunneled from their client computers to the serial port on the Console Server with a simple point-and-click.
To use SDT Connector to access consoles on the Console Server serial ports, configure the SDT Connector with the Console
Server as a gateway, then as a host. Now enable Telnet service on Port (2000 + serial port #) i.e. 2001–2048. Refer to Chapter
6 for more details on using SDT Connector for Telnet and SSH access to devices attached to the Console Server serial ports.
You can also use standard communications packages like PuTTY to set a direct Telnet (or SSH) connection to the serial ports
(refer Note below):
Note: PuTTY also supports Telnet (and SSH). The procedure to set up a Telnet session is simple: Enter the Console Server's
IP address as the 'Host Name (or IP address)'. Select 'Telnet' as the protocol and set the 'TCP port' to 2000 plus the physical
serial port number (i.e. 2001 to 2048).
Click the 'Open' button. You may then receive a 'Security Alert' that the host's key is not cached. Choose 'yes' to continue. You
will then be presented with the login prompt of the remote system connected to the serial port chosen on the Console Server.
You can login as normal and use the host serial console screen.
