A Note About Hosts

When a login user dials in, he or she is forwarded to a host. Which host the user is forwarded to depends on several things. The NETServer first attempts to find host information in the individual’s user table entry. If the user table shows a host of Default, the NETServer checks the host setting for the port the user is connected to.

User Table

set user <name> host <default prompt IPaddress>

default

Port Default

set s<port #> host <default prompt IPaddress>

default

Global Default

set host <IP address>

If the port shows a host of Default, the NETServer uses the Default Host defined in Global Configuration. Note that it is possible that no host will be defined in any of these places. If this is the case, the NETServer will return to the login prompt. The user will not be allowed to log in unless he or she enters a user name/password for a user with a host defined.
