If you are not using the Sentral client, a native RDP client is also available from the ezConnect
interface. To use the ezConnect RDP client, select Neoware > ezConnect from the menu bar.
The ezConnect client allows viewing and modifying settings on the I/Port such as display
settings and network configurations.
The ezConnect client can also be used to set up local or remote connections using X.11 or tty .
To add a local tty connection, do the following:
1. From the Connection window, select Connect > Add.
2. In the Add Connection window, choose Basic Terminal.
3. Enter a name for the session, specify localhost as the Host, and use the default Port 23.
4. Use the default settings, or customize them to your choice.
The tty session opens in a bash shell, and provides a limited set of Unix tools, including
these:
• ping
• passwd
• telnet
• tar
• vim (an enhanced version of vi )
A limited amount of help is available (enter help ) but man pages are not provided.
Configuring the I8330 I/Port
The I8330 I/Port provides a connection to a host without requiring an operating system in the
I/Port itself. This architecture provides a variety of benefits, including security and cost
savings.
Sentral Configuration
The I8330 I/Port requires Sentral 5.2 or higher. Your Sentral Console must have the I83xx
Admin Utility installed on it, and each host to which the I8330 connects must have the I83xx
driver installed.
Note: The I83xx Driver requires Windows XP. No other operating systems are supported.
By default, the I8330 is configured to automatically attempt a direct connection to a host with
the I83xx driver installed. To change this configuration, press F10 during startup, or click the
Options button at the login screen and select Setup.
In the Options tab of Setup, click the button for Sentral and select Save. The I8330 I/Port will
restart. If the Sentral network is available, a Sentral login dialog is displayed, and the I8330 is
ready for login.
