Connect to the console server
When you click the Connect to CS400X radio button on the Connect form, a Java applet viewer
appears running an SSH session on the console server. The IP address of the console server is
followed by the session type.
Connect to serial ports
The list of serial ports includes the port names or administrator-defined aliases only for ports you
have permission to access.
Port access requirements
When you connect to a serial port to access a server or another device, access rights to the specific
serial port on the console server is required.
NOTE: If an authentication server is set up in your network, an authentication method and the related
parameters should be set up to allow access to the connected devices.
When you select a port from the Serial pull-down list and click the Connect button, a Java applet
viewer appears. The Connected to message at the top of the screen shows the IP address of the
console server followed by the TCP port number.
