Configuring a User for Autoconnection: Web Interface

1.Access the web interface by entering the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 IP address in a browser’s URL window.

2.Log in to the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 as root. The default password is dbps.

3.Select Configure and then Users from the menu.

4.To add an autoconnect user, do the following:

a.Choose Add User.

b.Enter a name and then choose Submit

c.Choose the new user from the Name column.

d.Configure the user. Be sure to specify the following: (1) Default Access: Autoconnect (2) Enable Autoconnect (3) The IP address that will be the destination for the autoconnect user

(4) A Destination TCP port number, which determines the type of connection for this user (such as 23 for Telnet).

e.Choose Submit.

5.To return to the main User menu, choose User from the Menu again.

Configuring a User for Autoconnection: Command Line

This section describes how to configure a user for autoconnection.

Procedure

This procedure deals with autoconnection features only. It assumes that you have or will configure

The port for modem connections (see Chapter 5) or terminal connections (see Chapter 6)

Other user attributes (see the set user command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Refer- ence)

To configure a user to automatically connect to a host, supply a set user command that specifies the following:

set user name=user-nameports=ports autoconnect=on autohost=ip-addressautoport=tcp-portdefaultaccess=autoconnect

where

user-nameis the name of the user

ports is the ports this user can use

ip-addressis the IP address of the host to which the user will be connected

tcp-portis the TCP port to use for connections

Example

In this example, a user is configured for autoconnection using telnet to the host specified. Because the password field is not specified, the default (password=on) requires that the user supply a password before the connection is made.

set user name=user4 autoconnect=on autohost=199.193.150.10 autoport=23 defaultaccess=autoconnect
