SSH
It is recommended that you use SSH as the protocol whereby the User
or Administrator connects to the ECS0016 gateway (or connects to the
attached serial consoles) over the Internet (or any other public network).
This will provide authenticated SSH communications between the SSH
client program on the remote user’s PC/workstation and the gateway, so
the user’s communication with the serial device attached to the gateway
is secure.
For SSH access to the consoles on devices attached to the ECS0016
serial ports, you can use MetaConnect. You configure MetaConnect with
the ECS0016 as a gateway, then as a host, and you enable SSH service
on Port (3000 + serial port #) i.e. 3001-3016.
Also, you can use common communications packages, like PuTTY or
SSHTerm to SSH connect directly to port address IP Address _ Port
(3000 + serial port #) i.e. 3001–3016
Alternately, SSH connections can be configured using the standard SSH
port 22. The serial port being accessed is then identified by appending a
descriptor to the username. This syntax supports any of:
<username>:<portXX>
<username>:<port label>
<username>:<ttySX>
<username>:<serial>
