User Configuration
Although it is not required, the device server is often configured to accommodate the requirements of particular users. Typical configurable user attributes include:
•Whether the user is required to supply a password.
•Autoconnection attributes, such as the system to which the user should be automatically connected 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 "PPP Settings" on page 31.
