USER’S GUIDE

M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

SSH Client Setup

The M7220 software contains the OpenSSH suite of SSH networking tools.

The currently installed version is: OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e.

Setting up a Connection with the SSH Client

To set up a new connection using the SSH client:

1.)

From the Administration menu, select the Terminal icon (option 7).

2.)

Select one of the Custom icons (options 8 or 9)

3.)

Enter the following into the Command text option without the quotes:

'/usr/bin/ssh <hostaddress>'

where <hostaddress> is the IP address of the server to connect to.

If using a standard login with the SSH shell, use the following for the Command:

'/usr/bin/ssh

-l<myusername>

<hostaddress>'

where <myusername> is the username to use when authenticating and <hostaddress> is the IP address
of the server to connect to. The user will be prompted to enter the password during login.

If the server is using a non-standard TCP port to listen for SSH connections (i.e. not TCP port 22), add
the following to the command strings:

'-p

<port>'

where <port> is the port number to use.
