CHAPTER

Using the Telnet/SSH Applet
About the Telnet/SSH Applet
The DSView 3.0 management software ships bundled with a built-in proprietary Telnet/SSH applet
that provides features unavailable in many other Telnet programs. These features include
configurable session properties tailored for each device, and configurable user preferences for
all sessions.
Additionally, the DSView software Telnet/SSH applet offers a separate History mode to review
session data, a choice of connection modes to a CPS serial over IP network appliances and generic
appliances, a scripting function for automatic device login and a logging function for saving session
data to a file.
DSView Clients may use the DSView software Telnet/SSH applet to access CPS810 or CPS1610
appliance or their ports, or any generic appliance that supports Telnet/SSH applet connections.
The Telnet/SSH applet uses the credentials provided by the DSView software to establish a session
and will automatically accept the CPS appliance server key. When the Common Telnet Viewer is
launched, the DSView software displays the Telnet/SSH applet window. The username and
password provided by the DSView user when they log in are authenticated by the authentication
service configured in the DSView software.
Telnet/SSH Applet Features
A new Telnet/SSH applet window will appear for each new Telnet/SSH session established by a
DSView user. The Telnet/SSH applet window contains commands and a window that provides
virtual terminal emulation. Figure 7.1 shows the Telnet/SSH applet and descriptions follow
in Table 7.1.
