To operate SDT Connector, add the new gateways to the client software by entering the access details for each Console Server (refer to Section 6.2.2). Then let the client auto-configure with all host and serial port connections from each Console Server (refer Section 6.2.3). Now point-and-click to connect to the Hosts and serial devices (refer to Section 6.2.4)

Alternately you can manually add network connected hosts (refer Section 6.2.5) as well as manually configure new services to be used when accessing the Console Server and the hosts (refer Section 6.2.6). Manually configure clients to run on the computer that will use the service to connect to the hosts and serial port devices (refer to Section 6.2.7 and 6.2.9). SDT Connector can also be set up to make an out-of- band connection to the Console Server (refer to Section 6.2.9)

6.2.2Configuring a new gateway in the SDT Connector client

To create a secure SSH tunnel to a new Console Server:

Click the New Gateway icon or select the File: New Gateway menu option

Enter the IP or DNS Address of the Console Server and the SSH port that will be used (typically 22)

Note If SDT Connector is connecting to a remote Console Server through the public Internet or routed network, you will need to:

Determine the public IP address of the Console Server (or of the router/ firewall that connects the Console Server to the Internet) as assigned by the ISP. One way to find the public IP address is to access http://checkip.dyndns.org/ or http://www.whatismyip.com/ from a computer on the same network as the Console Server and note the reported IP address

Set port forwarding for TCP port 22 through any firewall/NAT/router that is located between SDT Connector and the Console Server so that it points to the Console Server. http://www.portforward.com has port forwarding instructions for a range of routers. Also you can use the Open Port Check tool from http://www.canyouseeme.org to check if port forwarding through local firewall/NAT/router devices has been properly configured

Enter the Username and Password of a user on the gateway that has been enabled to connect via SSH and/or create SSH port redirections
