Logging onto the Terminal

Telnet Access

To open a telnet session to a serial port, enter the following command:

telnet <hostname or IP address> <TCP port number> Press ENTER

Where:

<hostname> is the hostname configured in the workstation where the telnet client will run (through /etc/hosts or DNS table). Or it can just be the IP address of the AlterPath ACS (Ethernet's interface) as configured by the user or as learned from DHCP.

<TCP port number> is the number associated to the serial port. The factory values, 7001 corresponds to serial port 1, 7002 to serial port 2 and so forth, and 3000 is a pool with all serial ports.

To close the telnet session, just press the telnet hot key configured in the telnet client application (usually it's "Ctrl-]").

SSH Access

Secure Shell (SSH) is a command interface and protocol often used by network administrators to connect securely to a remote computer. SSH replaces its non-secure counterpart rsh and rlogin. There are two versions of the protocol, ssh and ssh2. The AlterPath Console Server offers both.
