Telnet Access
To open a telnet session to a serial port, enter the following command:
telnet <hostname or IP address> <TCP port number>
Press ENTER
Where:
<hostname> is the hostname configured in the workstation where the telnet
client will run (through /etc/hosts or DNS table). Or it can just be the IP
address of the AlterPath ACS (Ethernet's interface) as configured by the user
or as learned from DHCP.
<TCP port number> is the number associated to the serial port. The factory
values, 7001 corresponds to serial port 1, 7002 to serial port 2 and so forth,
and 3000 is a pool with all serial ports.
To close the telnet session, just press the telnet hot key configured in the telnet
client application (usually it's "Ctrl-]").
SSH Access
Secure Shell (SSH) is a command interface and protocol often used by
network administrators to connect securely to a remote computer. SSH
replaces its non-secure counterpart rsh and rlogin. There are two versions of
the protocol, ssh and ssh2. The AlterPath Console Server offers both.
