Terminal Connection
There are two methods available for accessing the console server command line and devices attached to
the console server serial ports, directly from a web browser:
•
The Web Terminal service uses AJAX to enable the web browser to connect to the console server
using HTTP or HTTPS, as a terminal - without the need for additional client installation on the
user's PC
•
The SDT Connector service launches a pre-installed SDT Connector client on the user's PC to
establish secure SSH access and uses pre-installed client software on the client PC to connect to
the console server
Web browser access is available to users who are a member of the admin or users groups.
12.3.1 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 Opengear Management Console, i.e. if you are browsing using an
https:/ / URL (this is the default), the Web Terminal connects using HTTPS.
