In addition to an SSL server for the secure and authenticated dialing-in to LANCOM devices, LCOS also features an SSH client. This SSH client enables SSH connections to be established from a LANCOM device to a remote server, such as another LANCOM device or a Unix server. This function is highly useful if it is impossible to connect directly to a remote device, but by using an indirect connection via the LANCOM device that can be accessed from both subnets instead.
The SSH client can be started with simple commands at the command line interface, similar to the OpenSSH client on a Linux or Unix system.
