Transport Types

There are six types of transport you can use to connect the host system to the serviced systems:

Direct–where cables plug directly from the host system into the console of the serviced system.
LAT–where the console cables plug into a LAT terminal or console server for use on a Local Area Network (LAN) only or Extended LAN (ELAN).
TELNET–where the console cables plug into a TELNET terminal or console server for use in a TCP/IP network. This transport may be used for LAN or for Wide Area Network (WAN) connections.
Pseudo-terminals–where the output from a software application running on the Console Management host is fed to a pseudo-terminal, which then relays information to the Console Management host servers.
SSH–where the console cables plug into an SSH capable terminal or console server for use in a TCP/IP network. This transport may be used for LAN or for Wide Area Network (WAN) connections.
