Unauthenticated Telnet Selecting Unauthenticated Telnet enables Telnet access to the serial port without requiring the user
to provide credentials. When a user accesses the Console Server to Telnet to a serial port they are
normallygivenaloginprompt.However,withunauthenticatedTelnet,theyconnectdirectlythrough
to port with any Console Server login at all. This mode is mainly used when you have an external
system(suchasconserver)managinguserauthenticationandaccessprivilegesattheserialdevice
level.
 ForUnauthenticatedTelnet,thedefaultportaddressisIPAddress_Port(6000+serialport#)
i.e.6001–6048.
Web Terminal Selecting Web Terminal enables web browser access to the serial port via Manage: Devices:
Serial using the Management Console's built in AJAX terminal. Web Terminal connects as the
currentlyauthenticatedManagementConsoleuseranddoesnotre-authenticate.Seesection
