Terminal Server (Detailed Setup)
The following section give details on configuring the NETServer as a terminal server from the command line. For instructions on how to attach to the command line software, see Connecting to the Command Line in Chapter 2.
Configuring a Port
Ports used for terminal service must be configured as User Login ports.
Step 1 - Set the port type to User Login
The following command configures a port for terminal service:
set s<port #> login
Step 2 - Set the port’s 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
