Controlling Access to Outbound Ports

This section describes methods for controlling access to outbound serial ports. An outbound port is one defined on the dev field of the set ports command for one of the following device types:

•prn (used to define printer connections)

•mout (used to define outbound modem connections

•mio (used to define bi-directional modem connections)

•host (used to define host connections)

•modbus

Default Access

The default for outbound ports is unlimited access.

Restricting Access to Outbound Ports

Use the set auth command to restrict access to outbound ports. See the description of the set auth command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference for more information.

Controlling Access to the PortServer TS 8/16 Command Line

This section describes how to restrict access to the PortServer TS 8/16 command line.

Method 1 Autoconnection

The autoconnection feature allows you to configure a user to access the PortServer TS 8/16 but then be automatically connected to a host on the LAN.

You can implement autoconnection in the following ways:

•By port. In this case, all port users are automatically connected to the same host. The PortServer TS 8/16 is completely transparent to them.

•By user. In this case, a user is required to login and may be required to supply a password, but once the user is authenticated, an automatic connection to a hosts made.

For information on configuring autoconnection, see "Configuring Autoconnection" on page 7-1.

Method 2: Menus

Menus select destination systems without having to access the PortServer TS 8/16 command line. For information on configuring menus, see the description of the set menu command in theDigi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
