Dedicates a port to a Telnet, Rlogin, or SPX host, or to a LAT service. Once logged into the port, a user is automatically connected to the host or service; the user cannot return to local mode or enter MSS commands. Upon exiting the remote host, the user is logged out of the MSS.

The Hostlist parameter dedicates the specified port to a list of hosts. A sequential hostlist goes through a hostlist and attempts to contact each host in its listed order. As soon as a valid connection is established, normal data flow will occur between the MSS and the connected host. See Hostlist on page 2-58for more information on hostlists.

Note:	Dedicating a port disables port verification. See Change Verify on page 2-51for
	more details.
Restrictions	Requires privileged user status.
	The MSS-VIA, MSS-Lite, and the MSS4 do not support SPX or LAT.
	There can only be one dedicated service per port configured at a time. A
	dedicated service will override a preferred service.
	Changes to the dedicated target do not take effect until the port is logged out
	or the MSS is rebooted.
Errors	For all single port MSS, defining the single port as a dedicated port leaves no
	easy way to log into the MSS. Only remote console port and EZWebCon
	connections will work.
	Specifying the “S” environment string without a timeout value will generate an
	error. Including an IP address with the “S” string will also generate an error
	message.

Parameters

Note:

Port

MSS4 only. Specifies a particular port or group of ports.

In the absence of the PortList parameter, the configuration will affect the MSS4’s current port only.

PortList

Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges).
