Adding/Editing Users

Services Tab

Overview

The Services tab configures the connection parameters for a user. Any connection parameters configured in this window will override the serial port connection parameters.

Functionality

When a Terminal profile is set for the serial port and Require Login has been selected, user’s accessing the IOLAN through the serial port will be authenticated. Once authentication is successful, the IOLAN will start a Telnet connection to the specified Host IP/TCP Port.

Within the Terminal profile, there are a number of settings that apply to possible Services. Once it is known which user is connected, and which service is to be used, then the settings from both the Terminal profile and the user are used. User parameters take precedence over serial port parameters.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Service

Used in conjunction with the Terminal Profile. After the user has successfully

 

been authenticated, the specified service is started.

 

Data Options: DSPrompt, Telnet, TCP Clear

 

Default: DSPrompt

Host IP

When the User Service is set to Telnet or TCP Clear, the target host IP

 

address. If no IP address is specified, the Host IP value in the Default User

 

configuration will be used.

 

Default: 0.0.0.0.

TCP Port

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.
