Before you begin
A Telnet/SSH application, such as PuTTY, is installed on your laptop.
IP settings of the laptop are configured for direct connection to the server.
Use of proxy servers is disabled.
Procedure
- Connect your laptop to the services port with an Ethernet crossover cable.
If you do not have a crossover cable, use an IP hub.
Note Some laptop computer Network Interface Cards (NICs) provide a configurable internal crossover option, facilitating the use of a straight-through Ethernet cable for this connection. See your laptop computer user documentation to confirm whether this option is available.
- Start a PuTTY session.
- In the Host Name (or IP Address) field, type 192.11.13.6.
The system assigns the IP address 192.11.13.6 to the services port.
- For Connection type, select SSH.
- In the Port field, type 22.
- Click Open. Note
The system displays the PuTTY Security Alert window the first time you connect to the server.
- Click Yes to accept the server's host key and display the PuTTY window.
- Log in as admin or another valid user.
- When you finish the session, type exit and press Enter to close PuTTY.
