Figure 9- Serimux Secure Port Connect menu
Note: To connect to a host, the host must first be configured with the same communication settings as the port (default
serial settings = 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control). If needed, see “Serial Settings” on page 16 to
change the SERIMUX port serial settings.
Connect Direct to Serial Port from Command Line
To connect directly to a serial port from the command line, the SERIMUX must first be connected to the Ethernet (page 7).
Connect Via Telnet
To open a telnet session to a serial port, Issue the following command from the command line:
telnet
<
Serimux-S hostname or IP address
> <
TCP port number
>
<
Serimux-S hostname
> is the hostname configured in the workstation where the telnet client will run (through /etc/hosts or DNS
table). It can also be just the IP address of the SERIMUX.
<
TCP port number
> is the number assigned to the serial port. From the factory, 7001 corresponds to serial port 1, 7002 to serial
port 2 and so forth.
The user will be prompted for username and password to connect to the port/device (unless the device has no security).
Connect Via SSH
To open an SSH session to a serial port, issue the following command from the command line:
ssh -l
<
Username
> <
Serimux-S hostname or IP address
>
-p
<
Tcp port number
>
<
Username
> is the user configured to access that serial port (as defined in the list of users in the device configuration).
<
Serimux-S hostname
> is the hostname configured in the workstation where the telnet client will run (through /etc/hosts or DNS
table). It can also be just the IP address of the SERIMUX.
<
TCP port number
> is the number assigned to the serial port. From the factory, 7001 corresponds to serial port 1, 7002 to serial
port 2 and so forth.
The user will be prompted for a password to connect to the port/ host.
