c) The SSH2 Protocol
An SSH connection can be considered as an encrypted telnet connection. Main characteristics are:
- Dynamic allocation of pseudo-terminals (ptty),
- System access is controlled by a 'login', which is generated by the sshd daemon (available
with most versions of Unix/Linux),
- The value of the TERM environment variable is negotiated after the login stage. (See
Chapter 8.1.8 for default TERM values.)
Note: the Axel SSH client is compliant with OpenSSH
d) Serial Ports (Aux1, Aux2…)
The Axel thin client supports both TCP/IP and serial (RS232) connections.
To establish a serial connection, the session 'Protocol' must be set to 'serial'. Then set 'Main Serial
Port' to a native serial ports or an USB serial port.
The selected auxiliary port is set-up through the [Configuration]-[Ports]-[xxx]-[yyy] menu (see
Chapter 3.5.1).
8.1.3 - Selecting the Emulation
The available emulations are:
Note: selecting emulation sets the value of the TERM environment variable (see Chapter 8.1.8).
This value can be modified later if necessary.
