Chapter 6: Secure SSH Tunneling & SDT Connector
130 Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual
6.3 SDT Connector to Management Console
SDT Connector can also be configured for browser access the gateway’s Management Console – and for Telnet or SSH
access to the gateway command line. For these connections to the gateway itself, you must configure SDT Connector to
access the gateway (itself) by setting the Console server up as a host, and then configuring the appropriate services:
 Launch SDT Connector on your PC. Assuming you have already set up the console server as a Gateway in your
SDT Connector client (with username/ password etc) select this newly added Gateway and click the Host icon to
create a host. Alternatively, select File: New Host
 Enter 127.0.0.1 as the Host Address and give some details in Descriptive Name/Notes. Click OK
 Click the HTTP or HTTPS Services icon to access the gateway's Management Console, and/or click SSH or
Telnet to access the gateway command line console
Note: To enable SDT access to the gateway console, you must configure the console server to allow port
forwarded network access to itself.
With V3.3 firmware and later, this can be done using the console server Management Console. Simply
browse to the console server and select the Service Access tab on the System: Firewall menu. Ensure
SSH Command Shell is enabled on the Network interface and any out of band interfaces.
With earlier firmware:
 Browse to the console server and select Network Hosts from Serial & Network, click Add Host and in the
IP Address/DNS Name field enter 127.0.0.1 (this is the Opengear's network loopback address) and enter
Loopback in Description
 Remove all entries under Permitted Services except for those that will be used in accessing the
Management Console (80/http or 443/https) or the command line (22/ssh or 23/telnet) then scroll to the
bottom and click Apply
 Administrators by default have gateway access privileges, however for Users to access the gateway
Management Console you will need to give those Users the required access privileges. Select Users &
Groups from Serial & Network. Click Add User. Enter a Username, Description and Password/Confirm.
Select 127.0.0.1 from Accessible Host(s) and click Apply
