6.10 Using SDT to IP connect to hosts that are serially attached to the gateway
Network (IP) protocols like RDP, VNC and HTTP can also be used to connect to host devices that are
serially connected through their COM port to the Console Server. To do this you must:
● establish a PPP connection (Section 6.7.1) between the host and the gateway, then
● set up Secure Tunneling - Ports on the Console Server (Section 6.7.2), then
● configure SDT Connector to use the appropriate network protocol to access IP consoles on the host
devices that are attached to the Console Server serial ports (Section 6.7.3)
6.10.1 Establish a PPP connection between the host COM port and Console Server
(This step is only necessary for serially connected computers)
Firstly, physically connect the COM port on the host computer that is to be accessed to the serial port on

presents a
selection of methods for establishing a PPP connection for Linux
B. For Windows XP and 2003 computers, follow the steps below to set up an advanced network
connection between the Windows computer, through its COM port, to the Console Server. Both
