FunctionDescription

device. Data is collected on a RAMdisk as either buffered data or files. Error messages, buffered console output, traffic data and other information can be subsequently delivered to a central location through a dial-up or network connection.

Security Management

The terminal server maintains a database of authorized users. Only users listed in the database who successfully authenticate are allowed access. Supported authentication methods include the following password-oriented methods: Password, Callback and Variable Callback. The terminal server is configured for use with the following token methods, but the current version of the Central Web Console does not support their use: PassKey, and Pager.

The terminal server supports five access classes. Only a system administrator, logged into a SYSOP session as Master, can modify user profiles or the user database. The access class determines which ports can be addressed and what information can be viewed or modified within the terminal server.

Network Capabilities

The terminal server has both an Ethernet and a PPP TCP/IP network connection. Network connections support Telnet—to the terminal server and to attached hosts, FTP—for buffer and file delivery, and SNMP—for TRAP delivery to network management stations. In addition, the terminal server routes traffic between its network interfaces, allowing it to act as a secure, remote-access server for maintenance applications.
