CHAPTER 14: MANAGEMENT
FIGURE 14-2.
NOTE: To use the Connect > via SSH links, your computer’s operating system must recognize the ssh:// URI scheme and have a
protocol handler configured (for example, an SSH client like SecureCRT).
14.2 PORT AND HOST LOGS
Administrators and Users can view and download logs of data transferred to and from connected devices.
Select Manage > Port Logs.
Select the serial Port # to be displayed.
To display Host logs:
Select Manage > Host Logs.
Select the Host to be displayed.
14.3 TERMINAL CONNECTION
There are two methods for accessing the console server command line and devices attached to the console server serial ports
from a web browser.
The Web Terminal service uses AJAX to enable the browser to connect to the console server using HTTP or HTTPS, as a terminal
without additional client installation on the user’s PC. Browser access is available to users who are a member of the admin or users
groups.
The SDT Connector service launches a pre-installed SDT Connector client on the user’s PC to establish SSH access, then uses pre-
installed client software on the client PC to connect to the console server.
14.3.1 WEB TERMINAL
The AJAX based Web Terminal service may be used to access the console server command line or attached serial devices.
NOTE: Any communication using the Web Terminal service using HTTP is unencrypted and not secure. The Web Terminal connects
to the command line or serial device using the same protocol that is being used to browse to the Black Box Management
Console. If you browse using an https:// URL (this is the default), the Web Terminal connects using HTTPS.
