SP Sessions and Connections
4
79
The MergePoint SP manager provides access to SPs through a variety of session types and
connections. From an SoL (Serial over LAN), SP console, Telnet or SSH session, you can access
the serial controller, access the console or perform management actions, respectively.
Alternatively, DirectCommand sessions and Native IP sessions provide direct, transparent access
to the native applications on the SP. The Sessions window allows you to start and manage all
session types, with the exception of Native IP connections, which are available from the Network
tab.
System Sessions
You may connect five types of sessions on an SP from the Sessions window: SoL sessions, SP
console sessions, Telnet sessions, SSH sessions and DirectCommand sessions. When you connect
an SoL session, SP console session, Telnet session or SSH session successfully, a corresponding
window opens through a MindTerm client.
NOTE: Before using the MergePoint SP manager system sessions features, install the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) version 1.5.0_07 orlater (1.5 series), or version 1.6.0_02 orlater (1.6 series).
MindTerm client is a third party client that supports a variety of terminal emulation programs.
Enter <Ctrl> + <[mouse right-click]> for the MindTerm menu. From the menu, you can configure
terminal settings, define tunnels and modify other settings. For example, to change the terminal
emulation program, select Settings - Terminal - Terminal Type. For more information on
MindTerm client, seeUsing MindTerm to Create an SSH Tunnel on page 103
NOTE: Not all terminal emulation programs support function keys or special characters, so certain keystroke
sequences may be required for some commands. For example, in some applications, the function key F1 may be
performed by entering <Esc>1 on the keyboard. For more information, see the user guide for your terminal
emulation program.
