MetaConnect is a Java client program that couples the SSH tunneling
protocol with popular access tools such as Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS,
VNC, RDP, to provide point-and-click secure remote management access
to all the systems and devices being managed.
MetaConnect can be installed on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista™ PCs
and on most Linux, UNIX and Solaris configurations
PuTTY
Communications packages like PuTTY can be also used to connect to the
ECS0016 gateway command line.
PuTTY is a freeware implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and
UNIX platforms, that runs as an executable application without needing
to be installed onto your system. PuTTY (the Telnet and SSH client itself)
can be downloaded at http://www.tucows.com/preview/195286
To use PuTTY for an SSH terminal session from a Windows client, you •
enter the gateway’s IP address as the ‘Host Name (or IP address)
To access the ECS0016 command line you select ‘SSH’ as the •
protocol, and use the default IP Port 22
Click ‘Open’ and you will be presented with the ECS0016 login prompt. •
(You may also receive a ‘Security Alert’ that the host’s key is not
cached, you will need to choose ‘yes’ to continue.)
Using the • Telnet protocol is similarly simple but you use the default
port 23
