6.1 Configuring for SSH Tunneling to Hosts
To set up the console server for SSH tunneled access a network attached host:
 Add the new host and the permitted services using the Serial & Network: Network Hosts menu as detailed in
Network Hosts (Chapter 4.4). Only these permitted services will be forwarded through by SSH to the host. All
other services (TCP/UDP ports) will be blocked.
Note Following are some of the TCP Ports used by SDT in the console server:
22 SSH (All SDT Tunneled connections)
23 Telnet on local LAN (forwarded inside tunnel)
80 HTTP on local LAN (forwarded inside tunnel)
3389 RDP on local LAN (forwarded inside tunnel)
5900 VNC on local LAN (forwarded inside tunnel)
73XX RDP over serial from local LAN – where XX is the serial port number (i.e. 7301to 7348 on a 48 port
console server)
79XX VNC over serial from local LAN – where XX is the serial port number
 Add the new Users using Serial & Network: Users & Groups menu as detailed in Network Hosts (Chapter 4.4).
Users can be authorized to access the console server ports and specified network-attached hosts. To simplify
configuration, the Administrator can first set up Groups with group access permissions, then Users can be
classified as members of particular Groups.
6.2 SDT Connector Client Configuration
The SDT Connector client works with all Opengear console servers. Each of these remote console servers have an
embedded OpenSSH based server which can be configured to port forward connections from the SDT Connector client to
hosts on their local network as detailed in the previous chapter. The SDT Connector can also be pre-configured with the
access tools and applications that will be available to be run when access to a particular host has been established.
SDT Connector can connect to the console server using an alternate OoB access. It can also access the console server
itself and access devices connected to serial ports on the console server.
6.2.1 SDT Connector client installation
 The SDT Connector set up program (SDTConnector Setup-1.n.exe or sdtcon-1.n.tar.gz) is included on the CD
supplied with your Opengear console server product (or a copy can be freely download from Opengear’s website)
 Run the set-up program:
