Serial Port Connections
A serial port may be connected to the following two types of devices:
• A headless server or other device that has a console port.
This is the most common use of a serial port. An authorized user or
administrator can then make a telnet or ssh or raw socket connection
to the port through the OnSite, and then log into the device that is
connected to the port.
• A dumb terminal
The dumb terminal may be configured to be able to access only a single
server or it may be able to access multiple servers. The OnSite
administrator can configure either of the two following actions to occur
when the terminal is turned:
•A telnet, ssh, or raw socket connection is made to a single remote
server
- OR -
• A menu is presented with options for connecting to remote servers.
