Where:

password

if you include this argument you will prompted to enter a new password.

user-level

is ‘admin’, ‘normal’, ‘restricted’ or ‘menuing’.

switch-

is the hex value of the ‘hot-key’ used for switching sessions.

character

The default is 1 (^a).

user-service

select one of: csprompt, telnet, rlogin, tcp_clear, slip or ppp. For more information

 

on these user services see Appendix E Summary of Line Service Types.

iphost-address

(use only when you have selected a service of ‘telnet’ or ‘rlogin’); select:

 

0.0.0.0 for the unit to select the default host set for all users; see set server on page

 

173.

 

255.255.255.255 for the unit to prompt the user for the ip address or name of the

 

host to which he/she wishes to connect

 

n.n.n.n (where n is a number) for any other ip address of your choosing (as system

 

administrator); e.g 192.65.144.6

t-port number

(use only when you have selected a user-service of ‘telnet’) enter the TCP port

 

number of the host with which the unit should start the service. The default port is

 

23; in most cases you can use the default value.

callback-flag

whether the unit calls the user back when he/she connects to the unit (a security

 

feature). Set either ‘on’ or ‘off’ (default is ‘off’). When ‘on’, enter a phone

 

number (see below).

phone-number

a number which the unit 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.

i-timer value

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

 

connection because of inactivity. When the idle timer expires, if there has been no

 

exchange of data, the unit will end 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 232 seconds.

 

The idle timer (here) will override the idle timer which you can configure for a

 

line.
