When a Dumb Terminal is Connected to a Serial
Port
If the dumb terminal is configured as a dedicated terminal, a session starts up
on the designated server with the administratively-defined connection
protocol. For example, if the administrator has assigned the Telnet protocol
when configuring the dumb terminal’s serial port, a viewer launches running a
telnet session on the console of the specified server.
If the dumb terminal is configured as a local terminal with access to the
OnSite, either of the two following options appears:
• A login prompt
This connection allows you to log into the OnSite on the command line. If
you are authorized to log in as root, you can run any commands
recognized by the Linux operating system.
• A menu of connection options
The menu can be configured by the local administrator and usually has
multiple options for launching SSH sessions on remote hosts. For
example, the following menu called “SSH to Servers” lists options that
launch ssh connections to several servers, such as shown in the
following screen example.
T To Connect Through a Dumb Terminal to a
Server or to the OnSite
This procedure assumes that a dumb terminal is connected to one of the
OnSite’s serial ports and that the terminal is configured either as a dedicated
terminal for making a telnet or ssh connection to a server or as a local
terminal for connecting to the OnSite.
