to the console server (or connects through the console server to the attached serial consoles)

over the Internet or any other public network. This will provide authenticated SSH

communications between the SSH client program on the remote user’s computer and the

console server, so the user’s communication with the serial device attached to the console

server is secure.

For SSH access to the consoles on devices attached to the console server serial ports, you can

use SDT Connector. Configure SDT Connector with the console server as a gateway, then as a

host, and enable SSH service on Port (3000 + serial port #) i.e. 3001-3048. Chapter 6—Secure

Tunneling has more information on using SDT Connector for SSH access to devices that are

attached to the console server serial ports.
