Automation/Script connections

Hi,


I'm a new Royal TS user and I'm setting up remote access to my lab network and was wondering if it is possible to automate the process of connecting to a console port on my serial console server. 


To connect to the serial console server there a couple steps: A user would need to connect to the jump host via SSH then connect to the serial console server via SSH and then select the com port they would like to connect to.


It would be ideal if all the COM ports were visible per serial console server (I have 10 total each with 32 COM ports) in Royal TS and when a user selects e.g. COM port 19 (switchhostname) the SSH'ing to the jump host, the serial console server and the COM port is done automatically. Is this possible with Royal TS? 


Thanks

Hi Sebastian,


we do have a couple of things which might be helpful. If I understand your use case correctly, you could try to solve this using a key sequence task:

https://docs.royalapps.com/r2023/royalts/tutorials/working-with-tasks.html#create-a-key-sequence-task


Once you created a task, you can either execute it after your connection has been established automatically:

https://docs.royalapps.com/r2023/royalts/reference/connections/terminal-rebex.html#-key-sequence


Or you can just execute it on demand using the Key Sequence Task ribbon command.


Let me know if this helps.

Stefan
