Network Hosts

To access a locally networked computer or appliance (referred to as a 
Host) you must identify the network connected Host, then specify the TCP 
or UDP ports/services that will be used to control that Host.
Selecting 

Serial & Network: Network Hosts presents all of the network 

connected Hosts that have been enabled for access, as well as the 
related access TCP ports/services.

Click 

•

Add Host to enable access to a new Host (or select Edit to up 

  date the settings for existing Host) 

Enter the 

•

IP Address or DNS Name of the new network connected  

  Host (and optionally enter a Description) 

Add or edit the Permitted Services (or TCP/UDP port numbers) that  

•
  are authorized to be used in controlling this host. Only these permitted  
  services will be forwarded through by MetaConnect to the Host.  All  
  other services (TCP/UDP ports) will be blocked. 

 Select 

Nagios Enabled if the service on the Host is to be  

  monitored using the ECS0016 distributed Nagios monitoring. 

The 

•

Logging Level specifies the level of information to be logged and  

  monitored for each Host access. 

If the Host is a networked server with IPMI power control, then the  

•
  Administrator can enable users (Users and Administrators) to remotely  
  cycle power and reboot. 
Click 

Apply once the desired changes have been made.
