Terminal emulators are commonly used applications for accessing and managing devices on a network. They are used in conjunction with console ports, console servers, OOB Ethernet, and in-band Ethernet management networks. This section provides examples of connecting to a managed device using a Windows-based terminal emulator.
This appendix provides two basic examples:
- Using a terminal emulator for local access (with a workstation COM port and console cable) > To access the console port on a single device
- Using a terminal emulator for remote access (over Ethernet) > To access console server, Ethernet OOB, and Ethernet in-band devices
