Using Remote Login

The NMC-RX administrator can configure the remote login to be Telnet or SSH, which is described in NMC-RX User Guide, Vol. 1, Chapter 9, Configuring Security Settings. Once the remote login is configured, you can start Telnet or SSH either from the Network Workshop or Device Workshop.

To automatically connect to a device:

• From the Network Workshop—Select the device, right-click, and select Remote Login.
• From the Device Workshop—Select the System folder, right-click, and select Remote Login.

The remote login window appears, and you are connected to the selected device. An example of a Telnet session is shown.
