SDT Connector
can connect to the Console Server using an alternate OoB access. It can also be
configured to access the Console Server itself and to access devices connected to serial ports on the
Console Server.
6.2.1 SDT Connector Client Installation
The
SDT Connector
set up program (
SDTConnector Setup-1.n.exe
or
sdtcon-1.n.tar.gz
) is
included on the CD supplied with your Console Server.
Run the set-up program:
Note
For Windows clients, the
SDTConnectorSetup-1.n.exe
application will install the
SDT Connector
1.n.exe
and the config file
defaults.xml.
If a config file already exists on the Windows computer,
then it will not be overwritten. To remove an earlier config file, run the
regedit
command, search
for “SDT Connector” and then remove the directory with this name.
For Linux and other Unix clients,
SDTConnector.tar.gz
application will install the
sdtcon-1.n.jar
and the config file
defaults.xml
Once the installer completes, you will have a working
SDT Connector
client installed on your machine
and an icon on your desktop:
Click the
SDT Connector
icon on your desktop to start the client.
Note
SDT Connector
is a Java application so it must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
installed. This can be freely downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/ . It will install on
Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista computers and on most Linux platforms. Solaris platforms are
also supported however they must have Firefox installed.
SDT Connector
can run on any
system with Java 1.4.2 and above installed, but it assumes the web browser is Firefox, and that
xterm -e Telnet
opens a Telnet window.
