SSHTerm

Another common communications package that may be useful is SSH-
Term, an open source package that can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshtools

To use SSHTerm for an SSH terminal session from a Windows Client, you
simply Select the

File option and click on New Connection

A new dialog box will appear for your ‘Connection Profile’ where you can
type in the host name or IP address (for the ECS0016 unit) and the TCP
port that the SSH session will use (port 22). Then, enter your username
and choose password authentication and click

Connect.

You may receive a message about the host key fingerprint, and you will
need to select ‘

yes’ or ‘always’ to continue.

The next step is password authentication, where you will be prompted for
your username and password from the remote system.
You will then be logged on to the ECS0016 gateway.

Serial Port and Network Host Configuration

The ECS0016 enables access and control of serially and network
attached devices (hosts). The Administrator must configure the port
access privileges for each of these devices, and specify the selection of
services that can be used to control the devices. The Administrator must
also set up Users and specify each User’s individual access and control
privileges.
