9.2 Port Identities
Each Port is numbered (
1
through
48
) and have default names (
port1
through
port48
, respectively) and may also be given a familiar name by the sysadmin. The
Users interact with the servers connected to the ports by entering a command associ-
ated with either the port number or port name.
9.3 What Can A User Do
Summary: use
connect
to access a specific server
or network device.
9.3.1 Access via Network
To access a connected server via the SCS network port, the user should use an ssh
client to ssh to the IP address of the SCS.
9.3.2 ssh to a Port
You can ssh directly to a port by logging in and using the following:
ssh user@scs -t -t connect
9.3.3 Access via Console Port
The Console port is normally used by the System Administrator during service
events, however it can be used by any user that has access to the terminal and that has
a password to log into the system and access system Ports.
9.3.4 Interactive Mode
If a user desires to interact directly with an attached server they must enter inter-
active mode. Use connect
(only applies to ports for which this user is allowed CONNECT access).
The user's terminal will then be directly connected to the server, and will act as if
the terminal was physically connected to the server. The SCS displays the last page of
the port buffer along with a system information message indicating which Port is
selected as the user enters interactive mode.
When a user attempts to connects to a port that is already in use, they will receive
a message
Device or Resource busy
.
