Connecting a Terminal Console to
the Server
One way to power on and off your server is to log in to the server either remotely,

network, or directly, where you would connect a terminal console directly to your

laptop.
For a direct login, the connection you use varies depending on the Netra CT server
model you have, the type of terminal console you are using, and the card that you
