SSH to the serial ports

[Anonymous user]

I have an AP9301 that I am trying to configure SSH access to the serial ports rather than Telnet. I assumed I could just change the setting to "console (SSH)" and the SSH to port 7001. However I am getting "connection refused by host". I am using Secure CRT. Telnet access works fine.

Thanks for the help

i dont know much about this unit personally but i attached the online guide incase we do need it.

refer to PDF page 253 and i think it has some information on where you set this up where we should double check its set up properly. anyway, if i understand you correctly, it sounds like its probably correct - when you do telnet 7001, it works fine but doing SSH 7001 - it does not? i assume the changes were successfully applied when you change it to SSH? i figured you probably changed it back and forth a few times to test but i wasnt sure.

Thanks for the response. Telnet to port 7001 works just fine, however SSH to port 7001 did not work. Here is how I finally figured got it to work. "ssh -l admin:ttyS1 192.168.10.51" On page 10 of the command reference the documentation says "TCP port or the alias for the server connected to that serial port". Now I can SSH to the serial ports. Hope this helps somebody in the future.
