Instruction Manual

SSH

It is recommended that you use SSH as the protocol whereby the User or Administrator connects to the ECS0016 gateway (or connects to the attached serial consoles) over the Internet (or any other public network). This will provide authenticated SSH communications between the SSH client program on the remote user’s PC/workstation and the gateway, so the user’s communication with the serial device attached to the gateway is secure.

For SSH access to the consoles on devices attached to the ECS0016 serial ports, you can use MetaConnect. You configure MetaConnect with the ECS0016 as a gateway, then as a host, and you enable SSH service on Port (3000 + serial port #) i.e. 3001-3016.

Also, you can use common communications packages, like PuTTY or SSHTerm to SSH connect directly to port address IP Address _ Port (3000 + serial port #) i.e. 3001–3016

Alternately, SSH connections can be configured using the standard SSH port 22. The serial port being accessed is then identified by appending a descriptor to the username. This syntax supports any of:

<username>:<portXX> <username>:<port label> <username>:<ttySX> <username>:<serial>
