Step 1 - Create a new user

Add the remote user to the User Table. Use the following command:

add netuser <name> password <password>

Specifying a password is optional. In the example below, User1 will not be required to enter a password to get access to the network.

add netuser User1

add netuser User2 password GumDrops

Step 2 - Normal or dialback user?

Normal users dial in and immediately initiate a session with the network. When a dialback user dials in and types his or her user name and password, the NETServer hangs up the line and calls the user back. This can be useful if you want to reverse charges on the phone bill.

If you are configuring a normal user, go to step three.

Dialback User Configuration

To configure a dialback user, type the following command:

set user <name> dialback <location>

<location> must be the name of a location table entry for the dialback user. If you have not already done so, you must create this location table entry. A list of location table commands can be found in Chapter 10. A location table walkthrough can be found in Chapter 6 under Adding the Remote Device to the Location Table.

Since configuration for dial out connections is handled by the location table, no further information needs to be added to a dialback user table entry (you can skip to step 4).
