SDT Mode

This setting allows port forwarding of LAN protocols such as RDP , VNC, HTPP , HTTPS, SSH and Telnet through to computers
which are connected locally to the Console Server by their serial COM port. However such port forwarding requires a PPP link
to be set up over this serial port.
to provide credentials. When a user accesses the Console Server to Telnet to a serial port they are
normally given a login prompt. However, with unauthenticated Telnet, they connect directly through
to port with any Console Server login at all. This mode is mainly used when you have an external
system (such as conserver) managing user authentication and access privileges at the serial device
level.
For Unauthenticated Telnet, the default port address is IP Address _ Port (6000 + serial port #)
i.e. 6001 – 6048.
Selecting Web Terminal enables web browser access to the serial port via Manage: Devices:
Serial using the Management Console's built in AJAX terminal. Web Terminal connects as the
currently authenticated Management Console user and does not re-authenticate. See section
13.3 for more details.
By default once a connection has been established for a particular serial port (such as a RFC2217
redirection or Telnet connection to a remote computer) then any incoming characters on that
port are forwarded over the network on a character by character basis. The accumulation period
changes this by specifying a period of time that incoming characters will be collected before then
being sent as a packet over the network
This enables you to change the character used for sending escape characters. The default is ~.
This setting enables the shell power command so a user can control the power connection to
a Managed Device from command line when they are telnet or SSH connected to the device.
To operate the Managed Device must be set up with both its Serial port connection and Power
connection configured. The command to bring up the power menu is ~p
This setting limits the port to a single connection so if multiple users have access privileges for
a particular port only one user at a time can be accessing that port (i.e. port "snooping" is not
permitted)
