maximum number of concurrent sessions.

maximum number of concurrent sessions.
4. Click Apply.

You can access the device's CLI using any of the following methods:
RS-232: The device can be accessed through its RS-232 serial port, by connecting a
VT100 terminal to it or using a terminal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal) with
a PC. For connecting to the CLI through RS-232, see CLI on page
41.
Secure SHell (SSH): The device can be accessed through its Ethernet interface by
the SSH protocol using SSH client software. A popular and freeware SSH client
software is Putty, which can be downloaded from
