Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
Note: In Console Server mode, Users and Administrators can use SDT Connector to set up secure Telnet connections that are 
SSH tunneled from their client computers to the serial port on the Consol\
e Server with a simple point-and-click. 
To use SDT Connector to access consoles on the Console Server serial ports, configure the \
SDT Connector with the Console 
Server as a gateway, then as a host. Now enable Telnet service on Port (2000 + serial...

Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
SSH It is recommended that the User or Administrator uses SSH as the protocol for connecting to serial 
consoles attached to the Console Server when communicating over the Inte\
rnet or any other public 
network. This will provide an authenticated, encrypted connection betwee\
n the SSH client program 
on the remote user’s computer and the Console Server. The user’s communication with the serial 
device attached to the Console Server is therefore...

Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
Unauthenticated Telnet  Selecting Unauthenticated Telnet enables Telnet access to the serial port without requiring the user 
to provide credentials. When a user accesses the Console Server to Telnet to a serial port they are 
normally given a login prompt. However, with unauthenticated Telnet, they connect directly through 
to port with any Console Server login at all. This mode is mainly used w\
hen you have an external 
system (such as...

Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
Single Connection  This setting limits the port to a single connection so if multiple users\
 have access privileges for 
a particular port only one user at a time can be accessing that port (i\
.e. port “snooping” is not 
permitted) 
4.1.3  SDT Mode 
This setting allows port forwarding of LAN protocols such as RDP, VNC, HTPP, HTTPS, SSH and Telnet through to computers 
which are connected locally to the Console Server by their serial COM po\
rt....

4.1.6 Serial Bridging Mode 
With serial bridging, the serial data on a nominated serial port on one C\
onsole Server is encapsulated into network packets 
and then transported over a network to a second Console Server where is \
then represented as serial data. So the two Console 
Servers effectively act as a virtual serial cable over an IP network. 
One Console Server is configured to be the Server. The Server serial port to be bridged is set in...

4.2 Add/ Edit Users 
The Administrator uses this menu selection to set up, edit and delete us\
ers and to define the access permissions for each of 
these users.
 
Users can be authorized to access specified Console Server serial port\
s and specified network-attached hosts. These users can 
also be given full Administrator status (with full configuration and \
management and access privileges). To simplify user set up, 
they can be configured as...

4.4 Network Hosts
To access a locally networked computer or device (referred to as a Host)\
 you must identify the Host and specify the TCP or 
UDP ports/services that will be used to control that Host:  
 
• Selecting Serial & Network: Network Hosts presents all the network connected Hosts that have been enabled for 
access, and...

The Trusted Networks facility gives you an option to nominate specific IP addresses that u\
sers (Administrators and Users) 
must be located at, to have access to Console Server serial ports:
• Select Serial & Network: Trusted Networks
•  To add a new trusted network, select Add Rule 
 
•  Select the Accessible Port(s) that the new rule is to be applied to 
•  Then enter the Network Address of the subnet to be permitted access...

4.6 Serial Port Cascading 
Cascaded Ports enables you to cluster distributed Console Servers so that a large \
number of serial ports (up to 1000) can be 
configured and accessed through one IP address and managed through the\
 one Management Console. One Console Server, 
the Master, controls other Console Servers as Slave units and all the serial ports\
 on the Slave units appear as if they are part 
of the Master.
Each Slave connects to the...
