6. SSH Tunnels and SDT Connector When the Viewer PC is directly connected to the console server (i.e. locally or remotely via VPN or dial-in connection) and the VNC Host computer is serially connected to the console server, enter the IP address of the console server unit with the TCP port that the SDT tunnel will use. The TCP port will be 7900 plus the physical serial port number. For example, with TCP ports 7901 to 7948, all traffic directed to port 79xx on the console server is tunneled through to port 5900 on the PPP connection on serial Port xx (e.g., for a Windows Viewer PC using UltraVNC connecting to a VNC Server, which is attached to Port 1 on a console server located 192.168.0.1). • You can then establish the VNC connection by simply activating the VNC Viewer software on the Viewer PC and entering the password.

To do this: • Establish a PPP connection between the host and the gateway. • Set up Secure Tunneling - Ports on the console server. • Configure SDT Connector to use the appropriate network protocol to access IP consoles on the host devices that are attached to the Console server serial ports. 122
