Remote Login via SSH
You can use almost any standard SSH client to access the R-Port options. Simply use

commercial applications) and connect to the IP address of the IP KVM using port 22

the command prompt type “connect x” (where x is the number of the R-Port devices
you wish to manage). Alternatively, you can enter the command “connect -l” to see a
list of active devices. Once connected, you will see a welcome banner similar to the
following:
Connected to #1: (none)... (Press Ctrl-Shift-_ for menu).
