The User Interface
Overview
Once you have successfully logged in, the Serial Console Server’s Main Page
appears. The look of the page varies slightly, depending on which method you
used to log in. Each of the interfaces is described in the sections that follow.
Access
The Serial Console Server can be accessed from a local console (locally
connected computer or laptop) running terminal application software (such as
Microsoft HyperTerminal) or the SNViewerUSB application; or from a remote
computer using Telnet (SSH), PuTTY, or web-based browser (see
First Time
Setup , page 33 for details).
No matter which access method you choose, the Serial Console Server’s
authentication procedure requires you to submit a valid username and
password. If you supply invalid login information, the authentication routine
will return an
Invalid Username or Password , or Login Failed message. If you
see this type of message, log in again with a correct username and password.
Note: If the number of invalid login attempts exceeds a specified amount, a
timeout period is invoked. You must wait until the timeout period
expires before you can attempt to log in again. See
Login Failures ,
page 119 for further details.
