The Port Server and Rotaries

Conﬁguring Visibility

Conﬁgure visibility for rotaries using the keyword ps= along with the arguments visible and

invisible. The port server displays a visible rotary's name when users telnet or rlogin to the Model

5390 primary Internet address. An invisible rotary prevents users from seeing the name if they use

telnet or rlogin to connect to the Model 5390 server and further hides details of the connection.

Only rotaries that can be accessed via an auxiliary Internet address or a TCP port in the 6000 range

can be deﬁned as invisible. Rotaries without auxiliary Internet addresses or TCP ports in the 6000

range are always visible. Following is an example of an entry that makes the HostC rotary invisible:

HostC: ps=invisible 1,4,6-9@5390_01+132.245.6.80

Users that use telnet or rlogin to connect to 5390_01 do not see the name; users that use telnet or

rlogin to connect to HostC see the sequence illustrated in Assigning Auxiliary Rotaries Internet

Addresses on page A4-11.

Conﬁguring Camp-on

Camp-on applies to rotaries with an auxiliary Internet address or auxiliary TCP port. It is the process

of waiting for the next free port in the rotary if all of its ports are busy when a connection is attempted.

Conﬁgure camp-on using the keyword direct_camp_on= along with the arguments ask, always,
