TCP Port No(ignore this field unless you have selected a user Service of ‘telnet’)

(telnet only) enter the TCP/IP port number of the host with which the unit should start the telnet service. The default port is 23; in most cases you should leave the value at default.

phone

Enter a telephone number for the unit to call back the user; do not use spaces. You

number

must also have ‘callback’ set to on. (The number you enter is unrelated to the

 

‘phone_number’ or ‘dial’ parameters you can set for a line).

idle timer

(you may wish to change this setting for terminal server connections) enter a period

 

in seconds for which the idle timer will run. Use this timer to close a connection

 

because of user inactivity. When the idle timer expires the unit will end the

 

connection. The default value is 300 seconds, meaning the idle timer will expire 300

 

seconds after the last activity. The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (equal to 49

 

days, approximately). A value of 0 (zero) means the idle timer will not expire so the

 

connection is open permanently.

 

Note: this idle timer will override the idle timer which you can configure for a line.

session timer (you may wish to change this setting for terminal server connections) enter a period in seconds for which the session timer will run. Use this timer to forcibly close a user’s session (connection). When the session timer expires the unit will end the connection. The default value is 0 (zero), meaning that the session timer will not expire (the session is open permanently, or until the user logs out). The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (equal to 49 days, approximately).

Note: this session timer will override the session timer which you can configure for a line.

Level

This field cycles through ‘admin’, ‘normal’ and ‘restricted’. These are privilege

 

levels and are described in Configuring a dial in line on page 74. The ‘admin’ user

 

(i.e. you as system administrator) always has ‘admin’ level account (maximum

 

privileges).

IP Host

(ignore this field unless you have selected a user service of ‘telnet’ or ‘rlogin’ or

 

‘tcp clear’).

 

0.0.0.0 - default. The unit will use the default ip host configured for all users

 

who login to the unit. The default ip host is set in the ‘server configuration’

 

menu; see Console Server, (or in the cli see command ‘set server’). The IP

 

address entered here does not affect the host table or any line configuration.
