Using a Telnet Console
The RocketLinx ES7528 supports a Telnet console or SSH console with the command line interface, which is the same as what
you see using the RS-232 console port. The SSH connection can secure all the configuration commands you send to the
RocketLinx ES7528.
SSH is a client/server architecture while the RocketLinx ES7528 is the SSH server. When you want to make SSH connection
with the RocketLinx ES7528, you should download the SSH client tool first.
