4.3 Authentication
Refer to Chapter 9.1— Remote Authentication Configuration for authentication configuration details.
4.4 Network Hosts
To access a locally networked computer or device (referred to as a Host), you must identify the Host and
specify the TCP or UDP ports/services that will be used to control that Host.
 Selecting Serial & Network: Network Hosts presents all the network connected Hosts that have
been enabled for access, and the related access TCP ports/services.
 Click Add Host to enable access to a new Host (or select Edit to update the settings for an
existing Host).
 Enter the IP Address or DNS Name and a Host Name (up to 254 alphanumeric characters) for
the new network connected Host (and optionally enter a Description).
 Add or edit the Permitted Services (or TCP/UDP port numbers) that are authorized to be used in
controlling this host. Only these permitted services will be forwarded through by SDT to the
Host. All other services (TCP/UDP ports) will be blocked.
 The Logging Level specifies the level of information to be logged and monitored for each Host
access (refer to Chapter 7—Alerts and Logging).
 If the Host is a PDU or UPS power device or a server with IPMI power control, then specify RPC
(for IPMI and PDU) or UPS and the Device Type. The Administrator can then configure these
devices and enable which users have permission to remotely cycle power, etc. (refer to Chapter
8). Otherwise, leave the Device Type set to None.
