How session monitoring can help your organisation

No matter the size of your company, you know that a slow down in their logistic’s pipeline can have a huge effect on many parts of your business.

When these problems do arise, then it is important for your company to find where the problem is coming from and fix it quickly before it begins to affect profits. That is where session monitoring can help you.

What is Session Monitoring?

One of the most impressive features of SLNet is the ability to monitor any telnet sessions within the organization.

Session monitoring is the method used to locally observe the display on a remote SSH/Telnet session.

Why it is important for a business?

From an admin point of view, it is important to be able to track and monitor all telnet devices across your organisation.

This is especially useful if you have operator training and certification, allowing supervisors to monitor session activity and provide feedback through the training cycle.

You can monitor from a central point of your network, monitoring any session regardless of geography, making it especially useful if you have a large multi-site operation with numerous locations across the country or continent.

Errors can be fixed and your organisation can learn where the pipeline is being slowed down and where improvements can be made.

How SLNet can help

With SLNet from SeattleLab, we can take away some of the worries that you may experience while running a large organisation.

Working in conjunction with Windows 2016 & 2019, our fast, responsive technology can help you monitor large areas of your pipeline.

Our latest version of SLNet is called SL Secure and is our most advanced to date.

SL Secure optimises the SSH protocol link between radio frequency devices and works with Windows versions 2016 onward as well as enabling an unlimited number of users.

SL Secure is the exciting new release from SeattleLab

SLNet Secure

SeattleLab is proud to announce that our latest release SL Secure is now available.

SL Secure builds on the highly successful SLNet product range, it adds a layer of security between the SLNet server and the wireless handheld devices whilst maintaining the features provided by SLNet.

SL Secure optimises the SSH protocol link between radio frequency devices and it works with Windows versions 2016 onward as well as enabling an unlimited number of users.

SeattleLab CTO Lorcan Kennedy said “SeattleLab are delighted to announce our latest release. With SL Secure, we feel we have the most secure SSH software to support your organisation from the ground up.

Kennedy spoke of the improved usability with data migration adding that “Our new release means migrating to the cloud has never been easier or more secure.”

Security

Customizable Permissions
Users run in their own appropriate security context, with all their own permissions in place, just as if they had logged in from the main console. This completely preserves all Windows’ C2 security features. SL Secure can lock down terminals so they can only reach specific applications and be prevented from getting to a command prompt.
Secure Logon
It also ensures encryption of usernames and passwords for secure logon over the network.
Full SSH Support
Out of the box support for SSH.

Usability for End-User

High Performance
SL Secure communicates via Winsock Sockets to the terminals and via Pipes to SLCon and the Windows Console Applications. To minimise the impact on the CPU resources, the SLNet secure programs are heavily multi-threaded and asynchronous.
Improved Performance and Reliability
Can handle thousands of user connections with modest requirements. SSH sessions tend to be more robust than the equivalent Telnet session.
Terminal Emulation
Can be customised to meet any terminal emulation or application character needs, details of which are provided in the Installation, Configuration and Administration Guide.

Access to Window’s Common Command Shell
Users who SSH into SL Secure can have full access to Windows’ Common Command Shell. It is completely configurable by the administrator, who can choose to disable access to the Command Shell on a user-by-user basis.
Direct Access to Custom Applications
It offers you the power to define default custom applications for users as soon as they log in.
Terminal Sequences
Also provides ANSI terminal sequences (compatible with the VT-100 and VT-220) for cursor positioning and formatted screen handling. It supports colours, UTF-8 characters, Unicode characters and custom key sequences.
Logging
Can insert a record in the Windows event log every time a user connects or disconnects along with a record of what process the user executed and the resulting data and screens from that process.
Remote Administration
SL Secure can be administered locally or remotely.
Licensing
For security purposes, SL Secure is licensed to specific servers. A license key tied to the server ensures you can track your SLNet Secure licenses and prevent unauthorized uses. Install SLNet on a target server, it activates temporarily and provides a license request file that you email to the SeattleLab license group. A license key file is generated and sent back to you.

Supporting the latest Windows software

Windows 2016 and 2019 support
SL Secure fully supports Windows Server 2016 & 2019.
64 bit Console Support

Also fully supports 64 bit Console applications such as SAPConsole 7.3.

Unicode and UTF-8 support
SL Secure has full support for international languages – single and double-byte character sets. You can set the font and code page to meet any need.

With many of our clients updating their software to Windows Server 2019 and 64-bit compatibility, we here at SeattleLab didn’t want to be left behind. So we began developing the most up to date version of SLNet we have ever seen and that is where SLNet 6.3 was born.

SeattleLab would recommend that if your infrastructure is fully 64-bit compatible, then all new users should consider SLNet 6.3.
