Configuring a User for Autoconnection: Command Line

This section describes how to configure a user for autoconnection.

Procedure

This procedure deals with autoconnection features only. It assumes that you have or will configure

• The port for modem connections (see Chapter 5) or terminal connections (see Chapter 6)

• Other user attributes (see the set user command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Refer-

ence)

To configure a user to automatically connect to a host, supply a set user command that specifies the

following:

set user name= user-name ports=ports autoconnect=on autohost=ip-address

autoport=tcp-port defaultaccess=autoconnect

where

• user-name is the name of the user

• ports is the ports this user can use

• ip-address is the IP address of the host to which the user will be connected

• tcp-port is the TCP port to use for connections

Example

In this example, a user is configured for autoconnection using telnet to the host specified. Because

the password field is not specified, the default (password=on) requires that the user supply a

password before the connection is made.

set user name=user4 autoconnect=on autohost=199.193.150.10 autoport=2 3

defaultaccess=autoconnect
