sets 8000 as a secondary base for telnet, then serial port #2 on the console server can
be accessed via telnet at IP Address:2002 and at IP Address:8002.
The default base for SSH is 3000; for Raw TCP is 4000; and for RFC2217 it is 5000.

3.5 Communications Software
You have configured access protocols for the Administrator client to use when connecting to the console
server. User clients (who you may set up later) will also use these protocols when accessing console
server serial attached devices and network attached hosts. You will need to have appropriate
communications software tools set up on the Administrator (and User) PC/workstation.
Black Box provides the SDT Connector Java applet as the recommended client software tool. You can use
other generic tools such as PuTTY and SSHTerm. These tools are all described below as well.
3.5.1 SDT Connector
Each console server has an unlimited number of SDT Connector licenses to use with that console server.
SDT Connector is a lightweight tool that enables Users and Administrators to securely access the console
server and the various computers, network devices, and appliances that may be serially or network
connected to the console server.
SDT Connector is a Java applet that couples the trusted SSH tunneling protocol with popular access tools
such as Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, VNC, and RDP to provide point-and-click secure remote management
access to all the systems and devices being managed.
Information on using SDT Connector for browser access to the console server’s Management Console,
Telnet/SSH access to the console server command line, and TCP/UDP connecting to hosts that are
network connected to the console server is in Chapter 6—Secure Tunneling.
