WML Sumo Thin Client User Guide
Network
The Sumo's Network settings are configured using this tab. The Sumo can use DHCP to obtain its
IP address and DNS settings, or these can be manually configured.
If the network settings are entered manually, details for IP address, netmask, gateway and name
resolution need to be entered in the “Network interface” and “Domain name server” tabs. In the
“Domain name server” settings, two DNS servers may be specified, along with a domain search
path, which should be a space separated list of the domains on your network to search.
Remote access to the Sumo
The Sumo can be remotely accessed by an administrator either via secure shell, or using VNC. Both
of these features need to be switched on in the Network tab of the Setup Manager. Illustration 43
shows both secure shell and VNC access switched on. The SSH and VNC daemons are started as
soon as their respective boxes are checked, the “Apply” button in the Network box needn't be
pressed.
Remote SSH access
Secure shell provides a text based connection to the Sumo, which the admin can use to check
memory usage and runaway processes.
Connect to the Sumo using any SSH client (for example, OpenSSH for unix, or Putty for
Windows). Use the username “root” and the same password that you use to configure the Sumo.
