SSH-to-Serial (Secure Connection) - NCOS-Out-of-Band-Management/SSH-to-Serial-Secure-Connection

The recommended, secure method to access your hardware is to first establish an SSH session to the router. Establishing SSH sessions to routers can be done in any of the three following ways:

Through client software (such as PuTTY): See Enabling Remote Administration on an Ericsson Cradlepoint Device for more information.
Note
To connect to the Cradlepoint router using client software, the router must have a publicly routable WAN IP address. See Determining if a Device Is Receiving a Publicly Routable IP Address for more information.
From NetCloud Manager:
1. Open your SSH client software (PuTTY, in this example), and type in the public IP address and port for the router in the Host Name (or IP address) and Port fields.
  1. Select SSH for the Connection type.
  2. Click the Open button to establish an SSH connection to the router.
2. Once you have established an SSH connection to the router's command-line interface (CLI), use the serial command to create a console session from the router to the serially connected device.
  If you are using a 1-to-4 USB-to-serial adapter, use the serial # command format to initiate a serial connection to a specific client device. For example, to connect serially to a device connected to the third port of USB-to-serial adapter, use serial 3.
3. After the session is established, you have access to the console of your device.
4. To exit the session, use either of the following commands:
  - Use CTRL + W to break the connection to the device but keep the SSH session up.
  - Use CTRL + Q to break the connection to the device and end the SSH session.
