Using a Telnet/SSH Console

The ES8510-XTE supports a Telnet console or SSH console with the Command Line Interface (CLI), which is
the same as what you see using the RS-232 console port. The SSH connection can secure all the configuration
commands you send to the ES8510-XTE.

SSH is a client/server architecture while the ES8510-XTE is the SSH server. When you want to make SSH
connection with the ES8510-XTE, you can use PortVision DX or download an SSH client tool.

The next discussion provides procedures to use PortVision DX with a Telnet or SSH connection.

You can use PortVision DX to access the CLI using the following procedure.

1.

If you have not done so, install PortVision DX (

2.

3.

Right-click the ES8510-XTE in the Device List pane (lower) and click Telnet/SSH.
