Cyclades TS2000

good day all.

i'm just getting started. i just got in a Cyclades TS2000, and i've got the
conserver 7.0.0 dist here i'm looking at. i'd like to make sure i understand
the termninology:

        PORT or SERVICE         - Socket used to communicate
        HOST                    - Hostname of console server
        CONFIG                  - Config file path
        PASSWD_FILE             - Password file path
        MAXMEMB                 - Number of consoles per child process
        MAXGRP                  - Number of child processes

HOST is the system running the conserver application, not the physical
terminal server right?, PORT is the port that clients will use to connect to
HOST? and PASSWD_FILE is the list of uids/passwd that HOST will use to
authenticate clients?

also, can i use ssh to make connections from HOST to the cyclades?

thanks in advance!
