6. SSH Tunnels and SDT Connector Each console server has an embedded SSH server and uses SSH tunneling so remote users can securely connect through the console server to managed devices by using text-based console tools (e.g., SSH, telnet, SoL), or graphical tools (e.g., VNC, RDP, HTTPS, HTTP, X11, VMware, DRAC, iLO). The managed devices being accessed can be located on the same local network as the console server, or they can be attached to the console server via serial port. The remote User/Administrator connects to the console server by way of SSH tunnel using a dial-up, wireless or ISDN modem, broadband Internet connection, enterprise VPN or local network connection. To set up the secure SSH tunnel from the client PC to the console server, you must install and launch SSH client software on the User/Administrator PC. Tripp Lite recommends you use the SDT Connector client software supplied with the console server for this task. SDT Connector is simple to install and auto-configure and will provide all users with point-and-click access to all systems and devices in the secure network. With one click, SDT Connector sets up a secure SSH tunnel from the client to the selected console server, establishes a port forward connection to the target network-connected host or serial connected device, and executes the client application used in communicating with the host. 104
