Port Default - Login Service
The NETServer uses the service specified here to connect users not in the user table with the port default host. Users with user table entries will not use this setting This setting is never used when Security is set to On. Note that the remote terminal or workstation does not need to know how to use this service since it talks directly to the NETServer, not the host. Use the following command:
set s<port #> service_login <login service> <TCP port#>
<TCP port#> is the port number on the host you want to connect to. It is optional unless you choose Netdata as the login service.
<login service> is one of the following:
Telnet | Supported by most TCP/IP computers, Telnet lets |
| the user log in to hosts that support it. If you set a |
| terminal type (see Term Type below), Telnet will pass |
| that information along. Otherwise, it negotiates a |
| standard, Network Virtual Terminal interface. |
Rlogin | Although Rlogin was originally a (BSD) UNIX only |
| protocol, it is now supported by some |
| machines as well. Unlike Telnet, Rlogin allows a |
| user logged into a host, to access their accounts on |
| other (trusted) hosts without reentering a password. |
| Rlogin requires that you specify a terminal type. |
| See Term Type below. |
PortMux | (Default) PortMux is similar to Telnet except that it |
| multiplexes many Telnet sessions into a single data |
| stream that’s more efficient to transmit and requires |
| fewer connections. PortMux requires that the host |
| be running a special PortMux daemon (in.pmd). |
| Note that this daemon also allows the host to use |
| NETServer ports set to Host Device as pseudo TTYs |
| (See Chapter 7). The PortMux daemon is available |
| on the U.S. Robotics web site. |
Netdata | Unlike Telnet, Rlogin and PortMux, Netdata is not |
| actually a login service. Netdata is a direct (clear |
| TCP) connection to a given TCP port number. |
| data is exchanged without interpretation. Such |
| connections may be used by dial in applications that |
| require a socket interface. |
