Using Windows HyperTerminal Console

To connect and use SOL Proxy:

1

Open a HyperTerminal session on your management station.

2

Create a new TCP/IP connection, providing the IP address of SOL Proxy Server and the port

number you have specified in SOL Proxy installation (the default value is 623). The

Emulation mode is VT100 and ANSI.

NOTE:

The IP address and port number you provide should conform to the ones defined in the SOL

Proxy configuration file. For more details, see “Configuring SOL Proxy with the SOL Proxy

Configuration File.”

3

Try the newly defined connection by clicking the connect button in the tool bar.

4

If prompted for a username, provide the operating system login credentials of SOL Proxy

Server.

5

Provide a password when prompted. SOL Proxy will use this combination of operating system

username and password to authenticate you on SOL Proxy Server. The specific authentication

scheme will depend on the operating system configuration for the SOL Proxy Server.

However, if

localhost or an IP address of 127.0.0.1 is used, it is assumed that the user has login

privileges to the current host, and is not prompted for a username and password.

6

After authentication is performed, you will see a login successful message and the SOL Proxy

main menu prompt. You are ready to use SOL Proxy. See "SOL Proxy Main Menu" for further

instructions.

Using a Red Hat Linux Shell

To connect and use SOL Proxy:

1

Open a Red Hat Linux shell on your management station.

telnet 192.168.1.24 623

NOTE:

The IP address and port number you provide should conform to the ones defined in the SOL

Proxy configuration file. For more details, see “Configuring SOL Proxy with the SOL Proxy

Configuration File.”

3

If prompted for a username, provide the operating system login credentials of SOL Proxy

Server.

4

Provide a password when prompted. SOL Proxy will use this combination of operating system

username and password to authenticate you on SOL Proxy Server. The specific authentication

scheme will depend on the operating system configuration for the SOL Proxy Server.
