10.3. Creating an Outbound SSH Connection
The AFS-16's /SSH command can be used to create an outbound SSH connection. In
order to use the /SSH command, you must access the AFS-16's Text Interface command
mode using an account that permits SSH Access and Outbound Access, via the AFS-16
Control Module's RS232 Serial Port as described below.

To create an outbound SSH connection, access the Text Interface via the Control
Module's RS232 Serial Port using an account that permits SSH Access and Outbound
Access and then invoke the /SSH command using the following format:
/SSH <ip> -l <username> [Enter]
Where:
ip Is the target IP address.
-l (Lowercase letter "L") Indicates that the next argument will be the
log on name.
username Is the username that you wish to use to log in to the target device.
For example, to create an outbound SSH connection to a device at IP Address
255.255.255.255, with the username "employee", access the Text Interface command
mode via a free AFS-16 Serial Port using an account that permits SSH Access and
Outbound Access and invoke the SSH command as follows:
/SSH 255.255.255.255 -l employee [Enter]
