Using IDT

The following topics provide an overview of IDT.

About using IDT
Use the IDT to access a device through a TELNET, SSH1 or SSH2 session. IDT provides full access to all commands on the network device, and allows access to the native command line.
Setting IDT system properties.
Use the System Properties option to set IDT system properties.
Changing IDT display properties.
Use the Change Font option to change the font type and size and the Colour Scheme option to change the color scheme within single or multiple IDT sessions.
Running command sets in an IDT session
Use the Apply Native Cmd Set option to define and apply an unlimited number of commands (using native command sets) directly to one or more devices.
Changing IDT SSH Daemon configuration
Each Netcool Configuration Manager server has an SSH Daemon process that routes IDT sessions to another Netcool Configuration Manager server or to the network device.
Changing the IDT JVM configuration
By default, IDT is run as an internal component. However if a performance enhancement is required, the IDT Daemon has the ability to run on its own JVM. Use this procedure to configure the IDT JVM.
Viewing the Device Log
Login credentials, commands and responses, alongside results are recorded in the Device Log.
