13. Management 13.3 Terminal Connection There are two methods available for accessing the console server command line and devices attached to the console server serial ports directly from a web browser: • The web terminal service uses AJAX to enable the web browser to connect to the console server using HTTP or HTTPS as a terminal, without the need for additional client installation on the user's PC. • The SDT Connector service launches a pre-installed SDT Connector client on the user's PC to establish secure SSH access, then uses pre-installed client software on the client PC to connect to the console server. Web browser access is available to users who are a member of the admin or users groups. 13.3.1 Web Terminal The AJAX-based web terminal service may be used to access the console server command line or attached serial devices. Note: Any communication using the web terminal service with HTTP is unencrypted and not secure. The web terminal connects to the command line or serial device using the same protocol being used to browse the Tripp Lite management console, i.e. if you are browsing using an https:/ / URL (this is the default), the web terminal connects using HTTPS. 13.3.1.1 Web Terminal to Command Line To enable the web terminal service for the console server: • Select System: Firewall. • Check Enable Web Terminal, then click Apply. Administrators can now communicate directly with the console server command line from their browser: • Select Manage: Terminal to display the web terminal from which you can log in to the console server command line. 212
