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
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.
