10.3. Creating an Outbound SSH Connection

The AFS-16's /SSH command can be used to create an outbound SSH connection. In order to use the /SSH command, you must access the AFS-16's Text Interface command mode using an account that permits SSH Access and Outbound Access, via the AFS-16 Control Module's RS232 Serial Port as described below.

Notes:

•In order for the /SSH command to function, SSH Access and Outbound Service Access must be enabled for your user account as described in Section 5.5.

•If are communicating with the AFS-16 unit via the Network Port, the /SSH command will not function.

To create an outbound SSH connection, access the Text Interface via the Control Module's RS232 Serial Port using an account that permits SSH Access and Outbound Access and then invoke the /SSH command using the following format:

	/SSH <ip> -l <username> [Enter]
Where:
ip	Is the target IP address.
-l	(Lowercase letter "L") Indicates that the next argument will be the
	log on name.
username	Is the username that you wish to use to log in to the target device.

For example, to create an outbound SSH connection to a device at IP Address 255.255.255.255, with the username "employee", access the Text Interface command mode via a free AFS-16 Serial Port using an account that permits SSH Access and Outbound Access and invoke the SSH command as follows:

/SSH 255.255.255.255 -l employee [Enter]
