6.10.2 Set Up SDT Serial Ports on Console Server
To set up
RDP (and VNC) forwarding
on the Console Server’s Serial Port that is connected to the
Windows computer COM port:
Select the
Serial & Network: Serial Port
menu option and click
Edit
(for the particular Serial Port
that is connected to the Windows computer COM port).
On the SDT Settings menu, select
SDT Mode
(which will enable port forwarding and SSH
tunneling) and enter a
Username
and
User Password.
Note
When you enable SDT, this will override all other Configuration protocols on that port.
Note
If you leave the
Username
and
User Password
fields blank, they default to
portXX
and
portXX
where XX is the serial port number. So the default username and password for Secure RDP over
Port 2 is
port02
Ensure the Console Server
Common Settings
(Baud Rate, Flow Control) are the same as were set
up on the Windows computer COM port and click
Apply.
RDP and VNC forwarding over serial ports is enabled on a Port basis. You can add Users who can
have access to these ports (or reconfigure User profiles) by selecting
Serial & Network :User &
Groups
menu tag - as described earlier in Chapter 4
Configuring Serial Ports.

access to the desired port.
