. The installation might take several minutes.
If the remote communications are being tunneled with SDT Connector, then Telnet can be used for securely
accessing these attached devices (refer Note below).
Note In Console Server mode, Users and Administrators can use SDT Connector to set up secure Telnet connections
that are SSH tunneled from their client computers to the serial port on the console server. SDT Connector can be
installed on Windows 7, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista PCs and on most Linux platforms and it enables secure Telnet
connections to be selected with a simple point-and-click.
To use SDT Connector to access consoles on the console server serial ports, you configure SDT Connector with
the console server as a gateway, then as a host, and you enable Telnet service on Port (2000 + serial port #) i.e.
2001–2048. Refer Chapter 6 for more details on using SDT Connector for Telnet and SSH access to devices that
are attached to the console server serial ports.
You can also use standard communications packages like PuTTY to set a direct Telnet (or SSH) connection to the serial
ports (refer Note below):
Note PuTTY also supports Telnet (and SSH) and the procedure to set up a Telnet session is simple. Enter the console
server’s IP address as the ‘Host Name (or IP address)’. Select ‘Telnet’ as the protocol and set the ‘TCP port’ to
2000 plus the physical serial port number (i.e. 2001 to 2048).
Click the ‘Open’ button. You may then receive a ‘Security Alert’ that the host’s key is not cached, you will need to
choose ‘yes’ to continue. You will then be presented with the login prompt of the remote system connected to the
serial port chosen on the console server. You can login as normal and use the host serial console screen.
