Configuring Users

Language

Service Host IP

TCP Port

You can specify whether a user will use English or Customlang as the language that appears in the Menu, CLI, or WebManager. The Device Server supports one custom language that must be downloaded to the Device Server; otherwise, Customlang defaults to English.

The type of service that the user will use.

When the User Service is set to Telnet or TCP_clear, the target host IP address. If 255.255.255.255 is specified in the configuration, the user will be prompted for an IP address or hostname. If no IP address is specified, the Host IP value in the Default User configuration will be used. The default is 0.0.0.0.

When the User Service is Telnet, this is the target port number. The default value will change based on the type of Service selected; the most common known port numbers are used as the default values.

Configuring Line Access

Line Access defines the read/write privileges that a user has while accessing a line.

Configure the following options:

Line Access

Specifies the user access rights to each Device Server device line. Options are:

 

z Read/Write—Users are given read and write access to the line.

 

z Read In—Users are given access to read only outbound data, data that is

 

going from the Device Server to the device.

 

z Read Out—Users are given access to read only inbound data, data that is

 

going from the device to the Device Server.

 

Users can read data going in both directions by selecting both the Read In and

 

Read Out options.
