• Dial-up to a factory-configured internal modem (optional), a modem connected either to a
serial port or the AUX port (which is only possible when an internal modem is not
installed), or to a PC phone card (modem, GSM or CDMA) installed in one of the PC card
slots or in the USB port.
• Target device connection. An authorized user can make a Telnet, SSH v1, SSH v2 or Raw
connection to a target device. For Telnet or SSH to be used for target device connections,
the Telnet or SSH service must be configured in the Security Profile that is in effect.
• Console server console connection. An administrator can log in either from a local terminal
or from a computer with a terminal emulation program that is connected to the console port
and can use the CLI utility. The CLI utility prompt (--|- cli>) displays at login.
More than one administrator can log into the console server and have an active CLI or web
manager session. All sessions receive the following warning message when the configuration is
changed by another administrator or by the system: The appliance configuration has been
altered from outside of your session. Upon receipt of this message, each administrator needs to
verify that changes made during the session were saved.
Web manager
Users and administrators can perform most tasks through the web manager (accessed with HTTP
or HTTPS). The web manager runs in Internet Explorer
®
6.0 and 7.0, and Firefox
®
2 and 3 on
any supported computer that has network access to the console server.
An administrator can use the web manager to create user accounts, authorize groups and
configure security and ports. Authorized users can access connected devices through the web
manager to troubleshoot, maintain, cycle power, reboot connected devices and change their
password. For more information on the web manager, see Chapter 3.
IPv4 and IPv6 support
The console server supports dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. The administrator can use the
web manager or CLI to configure support for IPv4 addresses only or for both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. The following list describes the IPv6 support provided in the console server:
• DHCP
• Dial-in sessions (PPP links)
• DSView software integration
• eth0 and eth1 Ethernet interfaces
• Firewall (IP tables)
• HTTP/HTTPs
