Terminal Server (TS) Profile Connection Protocols
When a computer terminal is connected to the console port on a device, a Terminal Server (TS) profile must be defined for the serial port.
Selecting the appropriate connection protocol on the Ports > Physical Ports > General form is part of defining the TS profile.
You can configure serial ports to support computer terminals in the following two ways:
Dedicate a terminal to access a single remote server by means of either Telnet, SSHv1, SSHv2, or Raw Socket connections.
The TS profile must specify the TCP port number, the terminal type, and the IP address for the remote host on the Ports > Physical Ports > Other form.
The following table describes the connection protocols that can be selected if a terminal is connected to the selected serial port.
 
Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to a serial port to access a server using the Telnet protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, ACS opens a Telnet session on the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on the “Other” form, Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected serial port to access a server using the SSHv1 protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, the ACS opens an SSHv1 session on the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on the “Other” form, Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected serial port to access a server using the SSHv2 protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, the ACS opens a SSHv2 session on the server. The server’s IP address should be specified on the “Other” form, Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected serial port for connecting to ACS. When the attached terminal is powered on, ACS opens a Telnet session on itself. The user then can use any of the ACS’s Linux commands. You can also create a terminal profile menu, Applications > Terminal Profile Menu that enables the user to quickly launch sessions on any number of remote hosts.
Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected serial port to access a specific remote host using the Raw Socket protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, the ACS opens a Raw Socket session on the host using an IP address and TCP port number that should be specified on the “Other” form, Ports > Physical Ports > Other.
