In addition to the option to configure a LANCOM with Telnet or a terminal program, LCOS version 4.00 and later provides an additional option of access via SSH. With a suitable SSH client such as PuTTy, you can set up an encrypted connection to the device and thus prevent the data being transferred during configuration from being intercepted within the network.
Start PuTTy (for example) and enter the LANCOM device's IP address as the host name. Use the command prompt that follows to log in by entering your user data.
Alternatively, you can use LANconfig under Tools / Options / Extras to enter your SSH client as an "external program“; then start the SSH access with a right-mouseclick on the device and open WEBconfig/Console session / Open SSH session.
The configuration is carried out with the same commands as used under Telnet or other terminal program.
