13.3Serial Port Terminal Connection

There are two methods available for accessing the console server command line and devices attached to the console server serial ports, directly from a web browser:

−The Web Terminal service uses AJAX to enable the web browser to connect to the console server using HTTP or HTTPS, as a terminal - without the need for additional client installation on the user's PC

−The SDT Connector service launches a pre-installed SDT Connector client on the user's PC to establish secure SSH access, then uses pre-installed client software on the client PC to connect to the console server

Web browser access is available to users who are a member of the admin or users groups.

13.3.1 Web Terminal

The AJAX based Web Terminal service may be used to access the console server command line or attached serial devices.

Note: Any communication using the Web Terminal service using HTTP is unencrypted and not secure. The Web Terminal connects to the command line or serial device using the same protocol that is being used to browse to the Management Console, i.e. if you are browsing using an https:// URL (this is the default), the Web Terminal connects using HTTPS.

Select System: Firewall

Check Enable Web Terminal and click Apply

Administrators can now communicate directly with the console server command line from their browser:
