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 Device column of the left-hand pane of the configuration 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 an AWS instance, this could be a virtual serial line provided by a serial line server (terminal server).
Disabled: disable the virtual console device entirely.

Configuration
When configuring a network console device, the user can select one of two modes:
...
Using a port that is already in use results in the following error messages in the virtual machine log file similar to the following.
To access the console of a guest system across the network without, make sure the port configured for the console is permitted by any intermediate firewalls and/or security groups. If using the built-in console function of the Charon Manager in combination with the Charon Manager SSH tunnel, the console port is redirected through this SSH tunnel.
Console:
For Charon-SSP AWS, the value of this parameter is fixed to Built-in. The built-in console is displayed and accessible from the Console tab in the Charon Manager. The console process listens on TCP port 9000 by default.

Configuration
When configuring a network console device, the user can select one of two modes:
TCP raw (serial line without protocol), or
Telnet (serial line with telnet protocol support).
Please note that TTYA cannot be used as the serial system console for Charon-SSP/4V systems. Such systems must use the Vconsole device.
The image below shows the configuration window for a network console device with telnet protocol support on a Charon-SSP/4U system:
