Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
4.1.2 Console Server Mode
Select
Console Server Mode
to enable remote management access to the serial console that is attached to the serial port:
Logging Level
This specifies the level of information to be logged and monitored (refer to
Chapter 7 - Alerts and Logging
)
Telnet
Check to enable Telnet access to the serial port. When enabled, a Telnet client on a User or Administrator’s
computer can connect to a serial device attached to this serial port on the Console Server. The default port
address is IP Address _ Port (2000 + serial port #) i.e. 2001 – 2048
Telnet communications are unencrypted, so this protocol is generally recommended for local connections
only. However, if the remote communications are being tunneled with
SDT Connector
, then Telnet can be
used to securely access these attached devices (
see Note below
).
With Win2000/XP/NT you can run Telnet from the command prompt (
cmd.exe
). Vista comes with a Telnet
client and server but they are not enabled by default. To enable Telnet, simply:
• Log in as
Admin
and go to
Start/ Control Panel/Programs and Features
• Select
Turn Windows Features On or Off
, check the
Telnet Client
and click
OK
