EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 203
Interacting with a Device Port
Once a device port has been configured and connected to an external device such as the console
port of an external server, the data received over the device port can be monitored at the
command line interface with the
connect listen
command, as follows:
To connect to a device port to monitor it:
connect listen deviceport <Port # or Name>
In addition, you can send data out the device port (for example, commands issued to an external
server) with the
connect direct
command, as follows:
To connect to a device port to monitor and/or interact with it, or to establish an outbound
network connection:
connect direct <endpoint>
endpoint is one of:
deviceport <Port # or Name>
ssh <IP Address> [port <TCP Port>][<SSH flags>]
where:
<SSH flags> is one or more of:
user <Login Name>
version <1|2>
command <Command to Execute>
tcp <IP Address> port <TCP Port>
telnet <IP Address> [port <TCP Port>]
udp <IP Address> port <UDP Port>
hostlist <Host List>
Notes:
To escape from the
connect direct
command when the endpoint of the
command is
deviceport
,
tcp
, or
udp
and return to the command line interface, type the
escape sequence assigned to the currently logged in user. If the endpoint is
telnet
or
SSH
, logging out returns the user to the command line prompt.
To escape from the
connect listen
command, press any key. Setting up a user with
an escape sequence is optional. For any NIS, LDAP, RADIUS, Kerberos, or
user, or any local user who does not have an escape sequence defined, the default
escape sequence is Esc+A.
When connecting to a USB device port, buffered data collected while there was no active
connection to the device port may be displayed initially. This is due to clearing internal
buffers in preparation for the new connection to the device port.
