Terminal on Unit
Skill level: Intermediate
Goal
To access the console of an Accelerated Cellular Extender using the Terminal on Unit link presented in Accelerated View for the device.
The Terminal on Unit access leverages the management tunnel established between the 63xx-series device and Accelerated View. For details on the monthly data usage for this access, refer to the following article:
Setup
For this setup, you will need access to Accelerated View, and a 63xx-series cellular extender online and syncing with Accelerated View. If you see the 63xx-series device listed as up (green status) in Accelerated View, you are good to go.
Details
Accelerated View utilizes the IPSec tunnel the 63xx-series cellular extender establishes to remote.accns.com to provide terminal access to the console of the device.
For details on the monthly data usage for this access, refer to the following article:
The following configuration settings will setup the 6300-CX to report its IPSec tunnel local IP address as the management IP that Accelerated View can then use to access its console.
Open the configuration profile for the 63xx-series cellular extender. Under IPSec -> Accelerated View, set the Management priority to 10. This will tell the 63xx-series device to treat the AView IPSec tunnel as the highest priority management interface, which it then reports to Accelerated View as the IP that can be used to access its console.
Once you apply the new configuration to the 63xx-series device, reboot the 63xx-series device so it rebuilds the IPSec tunnel and reports the new IPSec local IP address to Accelerated View. You can verify that Accelerated View is using the IPSec local IP as the management IP by looking at the Uplink IP address on the Device Details tab. This value should be set to a 172.x.x.x IP address.
