Using the Remote Access Account
Use the Secure Shell Client (SSH) to log in with the remote access account user name (eqsupport)
and password. The account must be enabled in order for this to work. For the best visual output, the
following are recommended:
• The PuTTY terminal emulator, freely available from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
• An SSH client running from a Windows Command window; for example, OpenSSH, which is
freely available from:
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/download/
• An SSH client running from a Cygwin window. Cygwin is a UNIX shell environment that
includes versions of many UNIX utilities, including SSH; it is freely available from:
