Configuring Mediation Connections: Secure Terminal Server Access

Secure Terminal Server Access
The secure terminal server access feature provides a layer of encryption and
authentication, creating a secure connection from a workstation to Remote RMX-3200
to access a connected NE. The connection from Remote RMX-3200 to the NEs is not
secure.
The Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) is used to provide the secure connection and is
suitable for both an interactive user session via a client like PuTTY or through any
available SSH client library.
The Redirect application provides SSH as an option for a virtual serial port’s protocol
in addition to TCP and Telnet protocols. Redirect also allows for user authentication
options to be configured.
Figure 17-1 shows the secure connection using SSH and a non-secure connection
using Telnet.
