Introduction : Accessing the ACS Console Server and Connected Devices

Accessing the ACS Console Server and Connected Devices
You can access a console server and the connected servers or devices either locally or remotely using any of the following methods.
Using the Web Manager, you can log in and launch a console session such as Telnet or SSH to connect to the devices attached to the console server’s serial ports.
Connecting a server running a terminal emulation program enables an administrator to log into the console server and either enter commands in the console server shell or use the Command Line Interface (CLI) tool.
NOTE: Only one root or admin user can have an active CLI or Web Manager session. A second root or admin user must abort the session or close the other user’s session.
CAUTION: If there are cron jobs running through automated scripts, a root or admin user login can cause the automated cron jobs to fail.
