Chapter 6: Secure SSH Tunneling & SDT Connector
Note
: You can choose any TCP/IP addresses as long as they are addresses which are not used anywhere else on your network.
The
From:
address will be assigned to the Windows XP/2003 computer and the
To:
address will be used by the Console
Server. For simplicity, use the IP address as shown in the illustration above:
From: 169.134.13.1
To: 169.134.13.2
Alternately you can set the advanced connection and access on the Windows computer to use the Console Server defaults:
• Specify 10.233.111.254 as the From: address
• Select
Allow calling computer to specify its own address
Also you could use the Console Server default username and password when you set up the new Remote Desktop User and
give this User permission to use the advance connection to access the Windows computer:
• The Console Server default
Username is portXX
where XX is the serial port number on the Console Server.
• The default
Password is portXX
So to use the defaults for an RDP connection to the serial port 2 on the Console Server, you would have set up a Windows
user named
port02
