Authorized users can use Telnet and/or SSH to connect to the console of the connected device simultaneously. When multiple sessions feature is configured, simultaneous Telnet and/or SSH sessions are allowed through the serial port.
Console (Raw)
Authorized users can make a Raw Socket connection to the console of the connected device.
Terminal Server (TS) profile connection protocols
When a terminal is connected to the serial port of the appliance, a TS profile must be defined for the serial port.
Selecting the appropriate connection protocol on the Ports - Physical Ports - General form is part of defining the TS profile.
When configuring serial ports to support terminals, you can:
•Dedicate a terminal to access a single remote server by means of either Telnet, SSHv1, SSHv2 or Raw Socket connections.
•Enable a terminal to access multiple servers through the console server.
The TS profile must specify the TCP port number, the terminal type and the IP address for the remote host on the Ports - Physical Ports - Other form.
The following table describes the connection protocols that can be selected if a terminal is connected to the selected serial port.
