Ports Menu & Forms
254
Selecting the appropriate connection protocol on the Ports > Physical Ports >
General form is part of defining the TS profile.
You can configure serial ports to support computer terminals in the following
two ways:
• Dedicate a terminal to access a single remote server by means of either
Telnet, SSHv1, SSHv2, or Raw Socket connections.
• Enable a terminal to access multiple servers through ACS.
The TS profile must specify the TCP port number, the terminal type, and the
IP address for the remote host on the Ports > Physical Ports > Other form.
The following table describes the connection protocols that can be selected if
a terminal is connected to the selected serial port.
Table 10-3: Expert > Terminal Server (TS) Connected Protocols
Protocol Name Result
Telnet Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to a serial port to
access a server using the Telnet protocol. When the attached
terminal is powered on, ACS opens a Telnet session on the server.
The server’s IP address should be specified on the “Other” form,
Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
SSHv1 Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected
serial port to access a server using the SSHv1 protocol. When the
attached terminal is powered on, the ACS opens an SSHv1 session
on the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on the
“Other” form, Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
SSHv2 Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected
serial port to access a server using the SSHv2 protocol. When the
attached terminal is powered on, the ACS opens a SSHv2 session on
the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on the
“Other” form, Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
