You connect to a PortMaster to get real-time debug output from a particular user. If you want past-history debug output from a user, see Reading a Log File. If your activity remains idle for a certain amount of time, the PortMaster will disconnect you. If a connection is lost, you can reconnect to the PortMaster without logging back in.
To connect to a PortMaster
From the PortMaster menu, select "Connect."
In the Connect dialog, type the PortMaster IP address or
hostname, and your username or hostname, and password.
Note - If this is the first time you have connected the this particular device, its IP address or hostname remains in the PortMaster pull-down list in the Connect dialog so you do not have to type the IP address again.
