8-Port Value-Line Console Server Quick Start Guide
Select the console server protocols (Telnet, SSH, TCP, and RFC2217)
that will be used for the data connection to the serial port.
NOTE: Port 1 is configured by default in Local Console (modem) mode. Use
the crossover-pinned DB9F-RJ-45 adapter and UTP cable to connect to a
terminal emulator application on your PC's serial COM port. If you plan to
use OoB dial-in access, connect this serial port to an external modem as
covered in detail in the user manual on the CD-ROM.
Click "Apply."
To enable access through the Value-Line Console Server to a locally
networked computer (referred to as a host), select "Serial & Network:
Network Hosts" and click "Add Host."
Figure 4. Serial & Network: Network Hosts screen.
Enter the IP address/DNS name of the host.
Edit the permitted services used for accessing this host, for example,
HTTPS (TCP port 443), VNC (TCP port 5900), or add custom TCP or
UDP port numbers—only the services specified here are tunneled
through to the host. All other services are blocked.
Specify the level of information to be logged and monitored for each host
access.
Click "Apply."
Step 5: Add new users.
NOTE: We recommend that you set up a new Administrator user (in the
admin group with full access privileges) and log in as this new user for all
ongoing administration functions (rather than continuing as root).
