User Commands

idle-timer

The amount of time, in seconds, that the idle timer will run. Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the idle timer expires, because there has been no exchange of data within the specified time, the Device Server will close the connection. The default value is 0 (zero), meaning that the idle timer will not expire (the connection is open permanently). The maximum value is 4294967 seconds. The User Idle Timer will override the Line Idle Timer, with the exception reverse Telnet sessions.

ip-host

When the User Service is set to Telnet or TCP_clear, the target host IP address. If 255.255.255.255 is specified in the configuration, the user will be prompted for an IP address or hostname. If no IP address is specified, the Host IP value in the Default User configuration will be used. The default is 0.0.0.0.

language

You can specify whether a user will use English or Customlang as the language that appears in the Menu, CLI, or WebManager. The Device Server supports one custom language that must be downloaded to the Device Server; otherwise, Customlang defaults to English.

level

The access that a user is allowed:

zAdmin—The admin level user has total access to the Device Server. You can create more than one admin user account but we recommend that you only have one. They can monitor or configure the Device Server through the CLI or Menu.

zNormal—The Normal level user has limited access to the Device Server. Limited CLI commands and Menu access are available with the ability to configure the user’s own configuration settings.

zRestricted—The Restricted level user can only access predefined sessions or access the Easy Port Access menu. Can only view or monitor the Device Server using CLI commands to display information about the Device Server.

zMenu—The menu level user will only be able to access predefined session or access the Easy Port Access menu. The Easy Port Access allows the user to connect to the accessible line without disconnecting their initial connection to the Device Server. Does not have any access to CLI commands.

password

The password the user will need to enter to login to the Device Server.

line-access

Specifies the user access rights to each Device Server device line. Options are:

zRead/Write—Users are given read and write access to the line.

zRead In—Users are given access to read only outbound data, data that is going from the Device Server to the device.

zRead Out—Users are given access to read only inbound data, data that is going from the device to the Device Server.

Users can read data going in both directions by selecting both the Read In and Read Out options.

phone-number

The phone number the Device Server will dial to callback the user (you must have set Callback to On). Enter the number without spaces. To change the phone number, overwrite the previous entry; to clear the phone number, set it to "" (double quotes without a space).
