13.2 Port and Host Logs
Administrators and Users can view logs of data transfers to connected devices.
 Select Manage: Port Logs and the serial Port # to be displayed.

13.3 Serial Port Terminal Connection
There are two methods available for accessing the console server command line and devices attached to
the console server serial ports, directly from a web browser:
− The Web Terminal service uses AJAX to enable the web browser to connect to the console
server using HTTP or HTTPS, as a terminal - without the need for additional client installation on
the user's PC
− The SDT Connector service launches a pre-installed SDT Connector client on the user's PC to
establish secure SSH access, then uses pre-installed client software on the client PC to connect
to the console server
Web browser access is available to users who are a member of the admin or users groups.
13.3.1 Web Terminal
The AJAX based Web Terminal service may be used to access the console server command line or
attached serial devices.
Note: Any communication using the Web Terminal service using HTTP is unencrypted and not secure.
The Web Terminal connects to the command line or serial device using the same protocol that is
being used to browse to the Management Console, i.e. if you are browsing using an https:// URL
(this is the default), the Web Terminal connects using HTTPS.
13.3.1.1 Web Terminal to Command Line
To enable the Web Terminal service for the console server
 Select System: Firewall
 Check Enable Web Terminal and click Apply
Administrators can now communicate directly with the console server command line from their browser:
 Select Manage: Terminal to display the Web Terminal from which you can log in to the console
server command line
