6.10 Using SDT to IP Connect to Hosts that are Serially Attached to the
Gateway
Network (IP) protocols like RDP, VNC and HTTP can also be used to connect to host devices that are
serially connected through their COM port to the Console Server. To do this you must:
establish a PPP connection (Section 6.7.1) between the host and the gateway, then
●
set up Secure Tunneling - Ports on the Console Server (Section 6.7.2), then
●
configure SDT Connector to use the appropriate network protocol to access IP consoles on the host
●
devices that are attached to the Console Server serial ports (Section 6.7.3)
