SDT Connector - Telnet or SSH connect to serially attached devices
SDT Connector
can also be used to access text consoles on devices that are attached to the Console
Server’s serial ports. For these connections, you must configure the
SDT Connector
client software with a
Service that will access the target gateway serial port, and then set the gateway up as a host:
Launch
SDT Connector
on your computer. Select
Edit -> Preferences
and click the
Services
tab.
Click
Add
Enter
"Serial Port 2"
in
Service Name
and click
Add
Select
Telnet
client as the Client. Enter 2002 in
TCP Port
. Click
OK
, then
Close
and
Close
again
Assuming you have already set up the target Console Server as a
gateway
in your
SDT Connector
client (with
username/ password
etc), select this
gateway
and click the
Host
icon to create a
host. Alternatively, select
File -> New Host
.
Enter 127.0.0.1 as the
Host Address
and select
Serial Port 2
for Service. In
Descriptive Name
,
enter something along the lines of Loopback ports, or Local serial ports. Click
OK.
Click
Serial Port 2
icon for Telnet access to the serial console on the device attached to serial
port #2 on the gateway
To enable
SDT Connector
to access to devices connected to the gateway’s serial ports, you must also
configure the Console Server itself to allow port forwarded network access to itself, and enable access
to the nominated serial port:
Browse to the Console Server and select
Serial Port
from
Serial & Network
Click
Edit
to selected Port # (e.g. Port 2 if the target device is attached to the second serial port).
Ensure the port's serial configuration is appropriate for the attached device
Scroll down to
Console Server Setting
and select
Console Server Mode
. Check
Telnet
(or SSH)
and scroll to the bottom and click
Apply
Select
Network Hosts
from
Serial & Network
and click
Add Host
In the

field, enter
127.0.0.1
(this is the Console Server's network
loopback address) and enter
Loopback
in
Description
Remove all entries under
Permitted Services
and select

and enter
200n

configures the Telnet port enabled in the previous step, so for Port 2 you would enter
2002
)
