Network (IP) protocols like RDP, VNC and HTTP can also be used for connecting to host devices that are serially connected through their COM port to the console server. To do this you must:

establish a PPP connection (Section 6.7.1) between the host and the gateway, then

set up Secure Tunneling—Ports on the console server (Section 6.7.2), then

configure SDT Connector to use the appropriate network protocol to access IP consoles on the host devices that are attached to the Console server serial ports (Section 6.7.3)
