Connection Methods
A user can connect to a device port in one of the following ways:
1. Telnet or SSH to the Eth1 or Eth2 IP address, or connect to the console port and log into the
command line interface. At the command line interface, type the connect direct or
connect listen command.
2. If Telnet is enabled for a device port, Telnet to <Eth1 IP address>:< telnet port number> or
<Eth2 IP address>:<telnet port number>. The Telnet port number is uniquely assigned for
each device port.
3. If SSH is enabled for a device port, SSH to <Eth1 IP address>:<ssh port number> or <Eth2 IP
address>:<ssh port number>. The SSH port number is uniquely assigned for each device port.
4. If TCP is enabled for a device port, establish a raw TCP connection to <Eth1 IP address>:<tcp
port number> or <Eth2 IP address>:<tcp port number>, where tcp port number is uniquely
assigned for each device port.
5. If a device port has an IP address assigned to it, you can Telnet, SSH, or establish a raw TCP
connection to the IP address. For Telnet and SSH, use the default TCP port number (23 and
22, respectively) to connect to the device port. For raw TCP, use the TCP port number defined
for TCP In to the device port. See Device Ports on page 81.
6. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulation program directly to the device port. If logins are
enabled, the user gets prompted for a username and password and logs into the command
line interface.
