StarTech.com ECS0016 manual Trusted Networks, Config.users.total

Instruction Manual

Note that if you see:

config.users.total

it means you have 0 Users configured.

So, your new User will be the existing total plus 1; if the previous com- mand gave you 0, then you start with user number 1; if you already have 1 user your new user will be number 2 etc.

If you want a user named “user1” with a password of “secret” who will have access to serial port 5 from the network you need to issue the these commands (assuming you have a previous user in place):

#/bin/config –-set=config.users.user2.username=user1

#/bin/config –-set=config.users.user2.password=secret

#/bin/config –-set=”config.users.user2.description=The Second User”

#/bin/config –-set=config.users.user2.port5=on

#/bin/config –-set=config.users.total=2

The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration.

# /bin/config –-run=users

Trusted Networks

Determine the total number of existing trusted network rules (if you have no existing rules) you can assume this is 0.

#/bin/config –-get=config.portaccess.total

This command should display: config.portaccess.total 1
