Digi PortServer II User Manual

90030500B Basic Configuration Page 67
Configuring a User
For each PortServer II you can configure between one and 64 users, and a password
for each user. These users typically have their own logins, and do not have access to
the PortServer II configuration options. Users may log in via dial-up links or at termi-
nals. The configuration options available depend on their method of access, as
described below.
If you do not have users connecting to your PortServer II (for example, if you are
using it as a printer server), you can ignore the rest of this chapter.
Note:
If a user can log in by more than one method (for example, through a local ter-
minal or a dial-up link), you must create a user profile for each.
Creating a new user
You must create an account for each user who can connect through PortServer II, and
configure their basic access and network parameters as follows:
1. Create a user by entering a command in the format:
set user name=<user_name>
<
user_name
> would typically be the same user name as on your host systems.
For example, to create a user called
Bill
, enter:
set user name=Bill
PortServer II displays the list of basic access parameters that you will configure
for the user. If this is a new user, default settings are shown for the parameters, as
shown below:
User 1 Name=Bill
Access:
CommandLine=off Password=off Ports=00000000 00000000 (1-16)
AutoConnect=off SessionTimeout=86400 0x0x0x00 00000000 (17-32)
NetService=off IdleTimeout=86400 00000000 00000000 (33-48)

2. Enter commands to configure the Basic Access parameters for the user, by enter-
ing commands in the format:
set user name=Bill <parameter>=<value>
You can include more than one parameter in each command. For example:
