Windows client, enter the Console Server’s IP
address as the ‘Host Name (or IP address)’
To access the Console Server command line,
select ‘SSH’ as the protocol and use the default
IP Port 22
Click ‘Open’ and the Console Server login
prompt will appear. (You may also receive a
‘Security Alert’ that the host’s key is not cached.
Choose ‘yes’ to continue.)
Using the Telnet protocol is similarly simple, but
you need to use the default port 23

on ‘New Connection’.
A new dialog box will appear for your ‘Connection Profile’.
Type in the host name or IP address (for the Console
Server unit) and the TCP port that the SSH session will use
(port 22). Then type in your username and choose
password authentication and click Connect.
