Installing the SDT Connector Client
Auto-Configure & Connect
The SDT Connector install files are available on the CD-ROM that shipped with your
Console Server:
1.If you are running Windows, use the .exe
file. If you are running Linux, Solaris, UNIX
or Mac OS X, extract the .tar.gz file.
2.Double click the SDTConnector icon (for
Windows), or from the command line run:
./SDTConnector (for other operating systems)
Note: The system running SDT Connector must
have Java 1.4.2 or later installed. This is a free
download from http://java.sun.com/.
3. Click File, then New Gateway.
4.Enter the IP address of the Console Server in Gateway Address.
5.Enter the credentials of the user (that you added on the Console Server) in Gateway
Username and Gateway Password.
6.Enter an optional Descriptive Name, click Add.
1.In the left hand column, select the newly added
Gateway.
2.Click Retrieve Hosts.
3. SDT Connector will connect to the Console
Server and retrieve all accessible hosts and
serial ports that the user has access privileges to.
4.Once complete, click the +to the left of the gateway’s icon to expand the accessible
hosts and accessible serial ports.
Note: The Console Server’s Management Console and serial ports are grouped under
the Local Services host.
5.Simply point at the host to be accessed and
click on the service to be used in accessing
that host.
6.An SSH tunnel will then automatically be set
up to the Console Server with the appropriate
ports redirected through to the host, and the
appropriate local client application is launched
pointing at the local endpoint of the redirection.
Note: The Retrieve Hosts function described
in this step can be used for any user added on the Console Server – however SDT
Connector will not Retrieve Hosts for the root user. It is recommended that this account
is only used for initial setup of the console server, and to add an initial admin account
for administration of the Console Server.
