User Commands
Set User
service
The type of service that the user will use.
sess-timer
The amount of time, in seconds, that the session timer will run. Use this timer to
forcibly close a user’s session (connection). When the session timer expires, the Device
Server will end the connection. The default value is 0 (zero), meaning that the session
timer will not expire (the session is open permanently, or until the user logs out). The
maximum value is 4294967 seconds. The User Session Timer will override the Line
Session Timer, with the exception of reverse Telnet sessions.
port
When the User Service is Telne t, 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.
Description Sets user’s settings. Normal-level users can configure only their own settings.
Admin-level users can configure any user’s settings, including their own (with the
exception of their User Level, which must stay at Admin).

Options hotkey-prefix
The prefix that a user types to control the current session. The default value is hex 01,
which corresponds to Ctrl-a (^a) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):
z^a number—To switch from one session to another, press ^a and then the required
session number. For example, ^a 2 would switch you to session 2. Pressing ^a 0
will return you to the Device Server Menu.
z^a n—Display the next session. The current session will remain active. The lowest
numbered active session will be displayed.
z^a p—Display the previous session. The current session will remain active. The
highest numbered active session will be displayed.
z^a m—To exit a session and return to the Device Server. You will be returned to
where you left off. The session will be left running.
z^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted
for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user
must retype the password to unlock the line.
z^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be
redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly.
The User Hotkey Prefix value overrides the Line Hotkey Prefix value. You can use the
Hotkey Prefix keys to lock a line only when the line Lock parameter is On.
