Console (TelnetSSH)
Authorized users can use Telnet and/or SSH to connect to the
console of the connected device simultaneously. When multiple
sessions feature is configured, simultaneous Telnet and/or SSH
sessions are allowed through the serial port.
Console (Raw)
Authorized users can make a Raw Socket connection to the console
of the connected device.
Terminal Server (TS) profile connection protocols
When a terminal is connected to the serial port of the appliance, a TS profile must be defined
for the serial port.
Selecting the appropriate connection protocol on the Ports - Physical Ports - General form is
part of defining the TS profile.
When configuring serial ports to support terminals, you can:
• Dedicate a terminal to access a single remote server by means of either Telnet, SSHv1,
SSHv2 or Raw Socket connections.
• Enable a terminal to access multiple servers through the console server.
The TS profile must specify the TCP port number, the terminal type and the IP address for the
remote host on the Ports - Physical Ports - Other form.
The following table describes the connection protocols that can be selected if a terminal is
connected to the selected serial port.

Telnet
Dedicates a terminal connected to a serial port to access a server
using the Telnet protocol. When the attached terminal is turned on,
the console server opens a Telnet session on the server. The
server’s IP address should be specified on the Other form, Ports -
Physical Ports - Other.
SSHv1
Dedicates a terminal connected to the selected serial port to access a
server using the SSHv1 protocol. When the attached terminal is
turned on, the console server opens an SSHv1 session on the server.
The server’s IP address should be specified on the Other form, Ports
- Physical Ports - Other.
