About Configuring Users

Although it is not required, the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 is often configured to accommodate the requirements of particular users. Typical configurable user attributes include the following:

Whether the user is required to supply a password

Autoconnection attributes, such as the system to which the user should be automatically con- nected at login

The interface the device presents the user, such as a menu or command line

Whether the user has access to outbound ports

Note: For information on configuring PPP users, see "Configuring PPP" on page 8-1.

Configuration Methods

You can configure users in the following ways:

With the set user command. See the set user command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.

With the web interface.
