Communications Software

You have configured access protocols for the Administrator client to use 
when connecting to the ECS0016. User clients (who you may set up later) 
will also use these protocols when accessing ECS0016 serial attached 
devices and network attached hosts. 
You will need to have appropriate communications software tools set 
up on the Administrator (and User) client’s PC/workstation. ECS0016 
includes MetaConnect as the recommended client software tool, however 
other generic tools such as PuTTY and SSHTerm may be used, and 
these are all described below:

StarTech.com recommends using the MetaConnect communications 
software tool for all communications with ECS0016 gateways, to ensure 
these communications are secure. Each ECS0016 is supplied with an 
unlimited number of MetaConnect licenses to use with that gateway.
MetaConnect is a lightweight tool that enables Users and Administrators 
to securely access the ECS0016 gateway, and the various computers, 
network devices and appliances that may be serially or network con-
nected to the gateway.
