Administrators and authorized users can access the command line of the OnBoard and of service processors, servers, and other connected devices by accessing the device’s console. Users of any type can log into a console of any of the above listed types using either the Web Manager, menus available through the OnBoard console, or ssh. The following table provides links to where console access is defined.
Device or service processor console When a user connects to any console using the Web Manager, a window running a MindTerm applet appears with an encrypted SSH connection between the user’s computer and the console. MindTerm is an SSH client that includes an integrated xterm/vt100 terminal emulator and that runs as a Java applet within a browser window.To use MindTerm, the user’s browser must have a Java plug-in enabled, as described in Requirements for Java Plug-In Availability.See Appendix 13, “MindTerm Applet Reference” for details about using and configuring the applets and about hot keys that can be used during console sessions through the Web Manager.
