Specifying a dial group lets you reserve a modem for dial-up to specific locations, or ensure that the modem used to make the connection is configured as this particular location requires.

Dial In Port Parameters

These parameters apply to both user login and network dial in ports.

Idle Time-out

This field specifies how many minutes the line can remain idle before the NETServer disconnects. Use the following command:

set s<port #> idletime <0-240 minutes>

Possible settings:

0Disable idle time-out

1Login, password, and host prompts time out in 5 minutes. However, there is no idle time-out on users who are already logged in.

2+ Login, password, and host prompts time out in 5 minutes. Users who are already logged in time out after the number of minutes specified.

Line Hangup

This controls whether the DTR signal on the RS-232 connector will drop momentarily and cause a hang-up after a user session ends (asynchronous connections only). Use the following command:

set s<port #> hangup <on off>

If set to off, DTR does not drop after the session terminates. If set to on, DTR drops.

Login Message

This is an optional login message that users will see prior to the login prompt. Use the following command:

set s<port #> message <login message>
