Using this function, you can manage console tools remotely via the SSH protocol (secure shell).
- Allowed network Addresses
Here you can assign network addresses (separated by a semicolon) which are granted remote access to the server. When left blank, the field indicates no restrictions.
- Console port
The default port is 22222 for security reasons, because high-number ports are invisible to port scanners. You can only change the setting to a port within the 1024-65535 range. You cannot indicate ports already in use.
- Password
Password length is 5 characters minimum. Be sure to use strong passwords.
- Confirm password
Please retype your new password.
Password cannot contain:
- special characters such as ' " ` ^ & $ # [ ] \/ | *
- spaces
To connect to the server from Linux/MacOSX systems use:
ssh -2 -p 22222 -l admin ip_address
where:
- option: -2 indicates the SSH protocol version used for connection
- option: -p indicates the remote access port
- option: -l indicates the user (the user needs to be admin)
- option: address_ip indicates the address of the server to which you want to connect
You will be asked for the remote access password you have entered on the server.
To connect to the server from Microsoft Windows, download the free SSH client Putty :
- in the Host Name (or IP address ) field, enter the IP address of the server
- in the Port field, enter the same port as in the server GUI (default 22222)
- in the Protocol field, select SSH
- in the category: Connection -> Data -> Auto-login-username, enter: admin
- in Terminal -> Keyboard -> The Function Keys and keypad, select VT100+
- go back to the Session category, enter the session name in the Saved Sessions field, and click the Save button
- click on the newly saved session, click Open, and enter the password. (If you have not entered the Auto-login-username, Putty will prompt you for a username. At the prompt, enter admin).
NOTE:
The default username login is: admin
