Adding/Editing Users

Serial Port Access Tab

Overview

The Serial Port Access tab controls the user’s read/write access on any given IOLAN serial port. This pertains to users that are connecting from the network to a serial over a Console Management type session.

This can be useful when you have multiple users connecting to the same serial device and you wish to control the viewing and/or the write to and from the device. See the Multisessions and User Authentication parameters in the Console Management Profile on page 127 for the serial port settings.
