3.5.2 PuTTY
Communications packages like PuTTY can also be used to connect to the console server command line (and to connect
serially attached devices, refer to 4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration). PuTTY is a freeware implementation
of telnet and SSH for Win32 and UNIX platforms. It runs as an executable application without needing to be installed onto your
system. PuTTY (the telnet and SSH client itself) can be downloaded at http://www.tucows.com/preview/195286.html.
To use PuTTY for an SSH terminal session from a Windows client, enter the console server’s IP address as the “Host Name (or
IP address)”.
To access the console server command line, select SSH as the protocol, and use the default IP Port 22.
Click Open. You will be presented with the console server login prompt. You may also receive a security alert stating the host’s
key is not cached. If this is the case, choose yes to continue.
Using the telnet protocol is similarly simple, except you use the default port 23.
3.5.3 SSHTerm
Another common communications package that may be useful is SSHTerm, an open source package that can be downloaded
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshtools:
To use SSHTerm for an SSH terminal session from a Windows Client, simply select the File option and click on New
Connection.
