Connecting & the terminal

Sessions give you a real xterm.js terminal — ANSI colors, timestamps, live search, copy and log download — for both SSH and Telnet.

1. 1Open Sessions and click “Connect to device”, then pick a device from the list.
2. 2The session opens a terminal; type commands exactly as you would in PuTTY or any SSH client.
3. 3Keep several sessions open side by side — each shows a live status badge (connecting, connected, executing, error) and a protocol badge (SSH / Telnet).
4. 4When auto-reconnect is enabled for a device, a dropped session reconnects automatically with backoff — the terminal and its history stay alive.
5. 5If a session is stuck on error/reconnecting, hit the Reconnect button on the session page or in the session list — it reconnects with the same session id.
6. 6Use the toolbar to search output, toggle timestamps, change the font size, clear the buffer, copy it or download a .log file.
7. 7Credentials come from the OS keychain automatically; nothing is stored in plain text.
