Using the Secure Telnet Wizard

The Secure Telnet wizard helps you add a Resource to a Monitor that tests the features of a Telnet server through a secure Secure Shell (SSH)-enabled connection.

This Secure Telnet wizard supports testing in UNIX®, Linux® or Windows® environments using SSH1 or SSH2 protocols.
