Vconsole Configuration (Charon-SSP/4V only)
The Vconsole represents the serial console device of a Charon-SSP/4V instance. To view or change the current virtual machine console configuration, select Vconsole in the left-hand pane of the Settings window. This opens the Vconsole configuration window, shown below.
...
TCP raw: configure the console device as a network device (TCP socket) without any protocol enabled.
Telnet: configure the console device as a network device (TCP socket) with the telnet protocol enabled.
Physical: configure the console device as physical terminal directly attached to the host system. For a cloud instance, this could be a virtual serial line provided by a serial line server (terminal server).
Disabled: disable the virtual console device entirely.
