The Login Message can be up to 240 characters in length. Use the carat ( ^ ) to designate the start of a new line.

Login Prompt

Optional. The following command allows you to customize the login prompt for the port. Any valid ASCII characters may be entered:

set s<port #> prompt <login prompt>

If you use quotation marks when you enter this string (either as delimiters or as punctuation), they will appear in the prompt string.

The default for Network Dial In ports is simply login.

The default for User Login ports is to display the name of the port’s default host followed by the word login: (if the string $hostname is included in the login prompt, the name of the port’s default host is substituted for the string).

Many automated login scripting systems expect a login prompt to end in login:. Putting any character after the colon (including quotation marks!) will cause some login scripts to crash.

Security (Pass-Thru Login)

This setting determines what the NETServer will do with users who are not in its User Table. You can turn security on or off.

On If a user does not enter a user name/password pair that can be found in the NETServer’s user table, check with the RADIUS security server (if present). The connection is terminated for all users who are not in either the NETServer’s user table or the RADIUS database. Use the following command:

set s<port #> security on

Off (Default) Do not consult RADIUS. Anyone dialing in to this port who does not enter a valid user name and password will be connected directly to the Port Default Host without being authenticated.

set s<port #> security off
