The SCS console server allows you to remotely manage devices and equipment from
anywhere on the network or from a remote dial-in through an attached modem. To use
the SCS as a console server, connect its serial ports to the serial console/management
ports of equipment such as UNIX servers, PBX switches, routers, network switches, or
other similar devices.
Console Server Example
Once you have completed the physical connections, you can establish an SSH or Telnet
connection to the SCS's IP address and the socket number of the desired port.
The SCS's serial ports allow three types of socket connections: SSH connections at
socket 22xx, Telnet IAC interpretation at socket 20xx, and raw TCP connections at
socket 30xx, where xx is the port number. For example, to open a Telnet connection to
port 2 of an SCS at IP address 192.0.1.168, issue the command
telnet
192.0.1.168 2002
from your system prompt.
Note:
The syntax for SSH connections depends on your SSH client software.
Once you have connected the SCS, you can configure or use the following SCS features:
Login Banner Pages
Menus
Remote User Dial-Up
Event Port Logging and Email Notification
Dial-Out ISP Connection
Com Port Redirector
SSH Connections
