66 Cyclades® CS Console Server Installation, Administration and User Guide
Terminal Server (TS) profile connection protocols
When a server terminal is connected to the console port on a device, a TS profile must be defined
for the serial port.
Selecting the appropriate connection protocol on the Ports - Physical Ports - General form is part of
defining the TS profile.
When configuring serial ports to support server terminals, you can:
• Dedicate a terminal to access a single remote server by means of either Telnet, SSHv1, SSHv2
or Raw Socket connections.
• Enable a terminal to access multiple servers through the console server.
The TS profile must specify the TCP port number, the terminal type and the IP address for the
remote host on the Ports - Physical Ports - Other form.

Table 8.3: Available Connection Protocols When Terminal is Connected to a Serial Port
Protocol Name Result
Telnet Dedicates a server terminal connected to a serial port to access a server using the Telnet
protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, the console server opens a Telnet
session on the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on the Other form,
Ports - Physical Ports - Other.
SSHv1 Dedicates a server terminal connected to the selected serial port to access a server
using the SSHv1 protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, the console server
opens an SSHv1 session on the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on
the Other form, Ports - Physical Ports - Other.
