4. Description of the RPCM Device
4.3. RPCM SSH Interface
4.3.1. General Information
Secure Shell (SSH)
— Industry standard protocol for encrypted access to remote terminals. SSH
uses tcp port 22 by default.
RPCM uses SSH to provide access to its CLI interface (command line interface) for text based re-
mote control.
There are a lot of SSH clients for most operating systems. You can use the built-in programs for
terminal emulation in UNIX-like systems (including MacOS X). If you use Microsoft Windows plat-
forms, it is recommended to use the free PUTTY software.
Note:
The RPCM command-line interface is called "RPCM CLI".
4.3.2. SSH Connection
To connect using the SSH protocol, you need to use the following command or its equivalent:
ssh <ip_address>
Note:
If you are using other systems and software, such as PUTTY, consult the relevant documen-
tation.
In the RPCM system, SSH access uses authentication based on username and password.
The default username is
rpcmadmin
The default password is
rpcmpassword
Example:
Once the connection is established, the password is requested:
[email protected]'s password:
After successful authentication, the system displays the current RPCM status information.
From the example (see Figure 4.3.1.) above the following information is available:
serial name
"DobriyVolk"
(All RPCM devices have unique serial names for easy identifica-
tion);
internal temperature of the device is 28 degrees Celsius;
continuous working time (uptime) is 33 days 59 minutes and 49 seconds;
grounding condition is in order (GOOD).
Also there is information about the firmware version, release date and so on.
