30 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
Telnet/SSH Access to Connected Devices
An authorized user can use a Telnet or SSH client to make a connection directly to the console of a
device if the following are true:
• The Telnet or SSH protocol is enabled in the selected Security Profile.
• The Telnet or SSH protocol is configured for the port.
• The Telnet or SSH client is available, and it is enabled on the computer from which the
connection is made.
To view and connect to devices with the Web Manager:
1. Select Topology in the side navigation bar. The content area displays the name of the console
server.
2. Select the down arrow next to the console server name. A list of either default port names or
administrator-defined aliases for all installed and configured devices for which the user is
authorized appears.
3. Select Serial Viewer from the Action column. A Java applet viewer appears. In a gray area at
the top of the viewer, the Connected to message shows the IP address of the console server
followed by the default port number or alias.
4. Log in if prompted.
To use Telnet to connect to a device through a serial port:
For this procedure, you need the username configured to access the serial port, the port name (for
example, 14-35-60-p-1) or device name (for example, ttyS1) and the hostname of the console
server or its IP address. The following example assumes that the Telnet service is supported on the
operating system where the telnet command is entered.
