Device Details Tools

The Device details “Tools” tab allows you perform actions directly on the device. These include
pinging the device to see if it is still reachable or to access the device via a Web or Terminal
interface. Even though you are accessing the device, PerleVIEW is still involved in the connection. If
login is required to access the device, PerleVIEW will automatically perform this action on your
behalf. The connection to the device is via PerleVIEW which allows you to access the device event if
it is not directly accessible to the client PC. This is because the client PC is communicating directly
with PerleVIEW. The PerleVIEW software re-directs the client messages to the device.
To use Web Manager, the target device must have HTTP or HTTPS enabled. If both HTTP and
HTTPS are enable, HTTP will be tried first. To use Web Terminal the target device must have Telnet
or SSH enabled. If both SSH and Telnet are enable, Telnet will be tried first unless PerleVIEW is
configured to only use secure connections. To enable secure connections only, see Working with
Server Settings for more information.

The Ping button will send 10 ICMP echo request packets to the device to
test for reachability.
The Web Manager button allows PerleVIEW to connect to your target
device acting like a transparent proxy server. The web browser
communicates directly to PerleVIEW and PerleVIEW either HTTP or
HTTPS to the target device. HTTP requests will be send on TCP port 80 and
HTTPS requests will be send on TCP port 443. The target device must have
these ports enabled for successful communication.
The Web Terminal button, allows you to connect to your device using
Telnet or SSH. Telnet will establish a session to TCP port 23 and SSH will
establish a session to TCP port 22. The target device must have these
services enabled for successful communication.
