Accessing ACS and Connected Devices
You can access ACS and the connected servers or devices locally or remotely using any of the following methods.
Using the Web Manager you can login and launch a console session such as Telnet or SSH to connect to the console of devices that are connected to the ACS’s serial ports.
By connecting a computer running a terminal emulation program, an ACS administrator can log into the ACS box and enter commands in the ACS shell or use the Command Line Interface (CLI) tool.
Note: Only one user logged in as “root” or “admin” can have an active CLI or Web Manager session. A second user who connects through the CLI or the Web Manager as the “root” or “admin” has a choice to abort the session or close the other user’s session.
Note: If there are cron jobs running through automated scripts, a “root” or “admin” user login can cause the automated cron jobs to fail. Make sure that the users with administrative privileges are aware of this.
