Global user parameters
The following parameters apply to all users in the user table.
Assigned Address
Optional. The Assigned Address is the first of 9 (NETServer/8) or 17 (NETServer/16) consecutive IP addresses. One address is set aside for each modem plus an additional address for the external serial port (s0). Network users whose IP address field are set to “assigned” are given one of these IP addresses when they dial in to the NETServer. Use the following command:
set assigned <first IP address of block>
Note: Be careful to choose a starting address so that the last addresses in the block do not extend beyond the last legal address on the subnet.
Connect Message
When this parameter is on, the NETServer will issue a “Con- nected” message to login users after they have been successfully connected to a host. This can be useful when the host itself does not give such feedback.
set connectmessage <on off>
Default Host
This is the IP address of the host that a user will log into if there is no host specified in his or her user table entry and no host specified for the port he or she is connected to. See also Random- ize Hosts, below. Use the following command:
set host <IP address>
Alternates
If the global default host is not available, a user will be directed to one of these alternate hosts. Use the following command:
set host <host #> <IP address>
<host #> is a number
