Connection via “ssh”
As an alternative to serial connection, you can use a
ssh client
to connect you to the VoiBridge
equipment via Ethernet.
Secure SHell is a security protocol for secure log in onto a remote server, over insecure
networks. It provides a secure (encrypted) client/server connection for applications, allowing you to
connect over Ethernet to remote equipment as if you have a direct connection to it (like the serial
connection explained previously).
You need a ssh client such as PuTTY (the current documentation is written for the putty
release 0.60).
You can use for ssh client the free Putty application for Windows; install the PuTTY from the CD
shipped in the TOPEX package.
Start up PuTTY by clicking the icon or shortcut on your desktop.
First you should click “About” to see that you have the latest version of PuTTY, as shown below:
Look at the “Category” menu.
Navigate in the “Session” item and
fill-in the fields “Host Name” and
“Port” with the IP of the remote
Topex gateway that you want to
connect to, respectively the port
where the ssh server of the
equipment is listening (in this
example for instance the LAN IP of
the VoIP gateway is 192.168.148.3,
while the port number is 2222,
instead of the port 22, usual for
SSH).
Verify that SSH is checked at
“Connection type” and save this
connection for further use.
