Access Options
Secure access is available through local (console port) and remote (IP and dial-up) access:
• LAN/WAN IP network connection.
• Dial-up to an optional external modem connected to a serial port.
• Target device connection - If a serial port is connected to the console of a device, an authorized
user can make a Telnet, SSH v1, SSH v2 or Raw Socket connection to the device console
through the Web Manager. An authorized user can also use a Telnet or SSH client to make a
connection directly to the console of a device that has been configured for direct access. If a
serial port is connected to a terminal, an authorized user can connect directly from the terminal
to the console server or to a menu that an administrator can configure for management of other
servers.
• ACS 5000 console server console connection - An administrator can log in either from a local
terminal or from a computer with a terminal emulation program that is connected to the
