= In XO/Bandcon Serial Console access =

Note: if you are trying to connect to a server in our Telehouse facility, see our [wiki:telehouse_serial_access Telehouse serial access page].

More detailed instructions are coming!

== Physical Setup ==

Console server: paley.mayfirst.org

 * Port 1: pianeta (asm)
 * Port 2: axiom (CritPath)
 * Port 3: naomi.mayfirst.org
 * Port 4: bufflehead (Riseup)
 * Port 5: ottorene.mayfirst.rg
 * Port 6: roy.mayfirst.org

== Connecting to your serial console ==

{{{
ssh -p PORTNUMBER SERVERNAME-console@b.console.mayfirst.org
}}}

Replace PORTNUMBER with 3000 plus the number of your port. For example:

{{{
ssh -p 3001 pianeta-console@b.console.mayfirst.org
}}}

Hm. Seems as though b.console.mayfirst.org doesn't work - try paley.mayfirst.org instead.

At the moment, we only have password-based auth working.

== Connecting to paley as sysadmin ==

You can also connect directly via paley with:

{{{
ssh sysadmin@paley.mayfirst.org
connect direct deviceport 1
}}}

== Creating a new serial line/user ==

These need to be improved - not sure how to do this via the command line - so far I'm doing this via the web interface at https://paley.mayfirst.org.

 1. Configure the device by going to Devices -> Device Port. Then select the port you want to configure and click configure
  * Provide a name (after the server name)
  * Check the box that says ssh in
  * Change Baud to 115200
 1. Configure the user by doing to User Authentication -> Local/Remote Users and click Add/Edit User
  * Enter a login (servername-console)
  * Create a password
  * Change the listen, data, and clear port settings to just the number of the port they should have access to
