Although I am not 100% certain, I think you must have a physical connection to that console interface.

Most Hub Operators/Owners use a Console Server, such as a Comtrol Device master RTS, etc to get at the console port remotely (line cards, etc). For a remote user, I know that is more than likely unrealistic.

You can use an SSH client in most recent versions of software. Telnet is inherently insecure as everything passes in clear text and thus normally disabled.

We use SecureCRT and SSH directly into the LAN IP (not the management IP address).

One key is to have your routing set up properly.

Can't figure out a way to jump out within iMonitor - I suspect because it talks to the Management IP - however there may be clever ways to route through that.

That is for iNfiniti - sorry did not make that clear. Perhaps x3 is similar.
