The following table shows the tasks related to configuring a dumb terminal.
SSHv1 Dedicates a dumb terminal that is connected to the selected serial
port to access a specific server using the ssh v1 protocol. When the
attached dumb terminal is turned on, the OnSite opens a SSH
version 1 session on the server, whose IP address you need to
specify on the “Other” screen.
SSHv2 Dedicates a dumb terminal that is connected to the selected serial
port to access a specific server using the ssh v2 protocol. When the
attached dumb terminal is turned on, the OnSite opens a SSH
version 2 session on the server, whose IP address you need to
specify on the “Other” screen.
Local Terminal Dedicates a dumb terminal that is connected to the selected serial
port to connect to the OnSite. When the attached dumb terminal is
turned on, the OnSite opens a telnet session on itself. The user
then can use any of the OnSite’s Linux commands. An
administrative user can also create a Terminal Profile menu (under
Access>Terminal Profile Menu in Expert mode) that enables the
user to quickly launch sessions on any number of remote hosts.
Raw Socket Dedicates a dumb terminal that is connected to the selected serial
port to access a specific remote host using the raw socket
protocol. When the attached dumb terminal is turned on, the OnSite
opens a raw socket session on the host using an IP address and
TCP port number you must specify on the “Other” screen.
