Remote OnSite Access Options
Remote OnSite administrators and authorized users can connect remotely in the following ways:
Using the Web Manager in a browser from LANs, WANs, GSM or CDMA cell phones, either through the Ethernet port or a PPP or login dial-in connection to the internal modem, optional phone or wireless cards in the PCMCIA slots, or one or two optional external modems
Using applications such as telnet or ssh to connect to the console of devices that are connected to the OnSite’s serial ports
Using PPP or a terminal emulation program to dial into a modem (with optional callback), get console access to the OnSite, and through the CLI utility either perform administration, access connected devices, or run power management commands.
Remote OnSite administrators can also do the following to connect to and administer the OnSite itself.
A remote administrative user logged into the Web Manager can launch a console session from the first screen that comes up after login and be automatically logged into the OnSite console as admin. The default shell defined for admin is bash. The administrative user can run the wiz command and the OnSite command line application (called the CLI).
The administrative user connected to the OnSite console cannot switch users to root but can use the sudo command to run commands that need to run as root. For example, to run the reboot command that can only be run by root, the admin can enter: sudo reboot.
A remote administrator using telnet or ssh can connect to the OnSite and log in as root.
