Accessing the System Console
8 AlterPath PM Installation, Administration, and User’s Guide
An integrated environment offers the following advantages:
• IT professionals can power off, power on, and reboot network devices
using the same console management session from any location via telnet,
Secure Shell (SSHv2), or through a secure web session. This can all be
done without the need for physical access to the hardware.
• Ethernet connection is available through the Cyclades management
products to which the AlterPath PM is connected. When used with
Cyclades management product, the AlterPath PM allows you, via a
configurable hotkey, to reboot servers without leaving your telnet/ssh
session.
• The AlterPath PM inherits the security of the console server to which it is
connected.
Daisy chaining PMs with the AlterPath ACS or Cyclades-TS is similar to the
daisy-chained configuration as described in “Daisy-chained Configuration”
on page 5; however, in the integrated configuration, the first AlterPath PM is
connected to a Cyclades management device instead of a workstation.
Accessing the System Console
Users and administrators can access the AlterPath PM either by making a
direct console connection to the PM’s IN port or by connecting the PM to a
Cyclades console or KVM management device.
Direct Console Access
While using the PM device independently of other Cyclades devices, local
users can connect directly to the system console port (the “IN” port) of the
AlterPath PM using the console cable with the corresponding adapter(s).
For more information about connecting directly to the PM’s console, see
“Making a Direct Connection for Console Access” on page 33.
