Chapter 6: Secure SSH Tunneling & SDT Connector
122 Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual
Note For Windows clients, the SDTConnectorSetup-1.n.exe application will install the SDT Connector 1.n.exe and the
config file defaults.xml. If there is already a config file on the Windows PC then it will not be overwritten. To
remove earlier config file run the regedit command and search for “SDT Connector” then remove the directory
with this name.
For Linux and other Unix clients, SDTConnector.tar.gz application will install the sdtcon-1.n.jar and the config file
defaults.xml
Once the installer completes you will have a working SDT Connector client installed on your machine and an icon on your
desktop:
Click the SDT Connector icon on your desktop to start the client
Note SDT Connector is a Java application so it must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. This can be
freely downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/ It will install on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista PCs and on
most Linux platforms. Solaris platforms are also supported however they must have Firefox installed. SDT
Connector can run on any system with Java 1.4.2 and above installed, but it assumes the web browser is
Firefox, and that xterm -e telnet opens a telnet window
To operate SDT Connector, you first need to add new gateways to the client software by entering the access details for
each console server (refer Section 6.2.2) then let the client auto-configure with all host and serial port connections from
each console server (refer Section 6.2.3) then point-and-click to connect to the Hosts and serial devices(refer Section
6.2.4)
Alternately you can manually add network connected hosts (refer Section 6.2.5) and manually configure new services to
be used in accessing the console server and the hosts (refer Section 6.2.6) then manually configuring clients to run on the
PC that will use the service to connect to the hosts and serial port devices (refer Section 6.2.7 and 6.2.9). SDT Connector
can also be set up to make an out-of-band connection to the console server (refer Section 6.2.9)
