3. The Spider will reply with a Welcome and status, followed by a command line prompt.
Selections are:
 Help—Displays a list of commands
 Version—Displays the current Spider firmware version number
 Connect Serial—Enter passthrough to serial port mode
 Logout—Terminates the Telnet or SSH connection
4. Enter connect serial to open the connection to the serial port.
5. You are now connected and may interact with the attached serial console. Keystrokes are not
locally echoed and must be echoed by the connected serial device.
6. Use the SSH or Telnet ability to send and receive serial data between the client and the serial
port. The Spider does not echo this data back to the client.
7. When complete, enter Esc-Exit to return to the command line.
8. Enter logout or l to close the connection.
Telnet Console Use
When using the Telnet Console, the Spider opens a window on the client system that provides
direct access to the Telnet/SSH command line. This eliminates the need to have a Telnet or SSH
utility running on the client system.
1. Click the Terminal button at the top of the Spider page. The user must have permissions set
to use Telnet or SSH. The JRE will launch, and the Telnet Console window appears. Telnet
Console and Remote KVM Console windows may be open concurrently.
