Choose Transport Types

The choice of transport type is based on the type of hardware system you are using for the Console Manager host system and the network infrastructure, as shown in the table below:

Hardware System	Use the Transport Type…	See Section
Local computer room connections	Direct LAT TELNET SSH	Connecting Using Direct Transport Connecting Using LAT Transport Connecting Using TELNET Transport Connect Using SSH Transport
LAN or ELAN connections	LAT TELNET SSH	Connecting Using LAT Transport Connecting Using TELNET Transport Connect Using SSH Transport
WAN connections	TELNET SSH	Connecting Using TELNET Transport Connect Using SSH Transport
Devices without consoles that are managed by a remote management program	Pseudo-terminal	Connecting Using Pseudo-terminals

The following sections explain the connections in detail. See the section Identifying and Solving Connection Problems if you experience any connection problems.

When you have set up the connections you require, review chapter 4, “Modifying the Configuration Database,” to modify your configuration database. However, if you have a VAX 8500/8700/8800 as a serviced system, you must complete additional setup tasks. These tasks are described in appendix A, “Using VAX 8550/8700/8800 Systems as Serviced Systems.”
