User
The User section defines various user parameters such as
name and terminal type. Most fields are used in this section.
A full description is given below:
This field defines the user name of this port on the
Name
server. Any string of up to 14 characters can be
entered. This name is displayed on the top left
hand corner of the menu screens. It is also listed
in the statistics screens so that the administrator
can see who is using each port. If this field is left
blank then a user is prompted for their user name
before being given access to the terminal server
menus. This field is also passed to the host when
using telnet or rlogin. Default is blank.
Terminal type This field defines the type of terminal that is
attached to this port. The possible values are
undef (undefined), ansi, dumb, vt100, vt320,
wyse50, wyse60, tvi925, ibm3151, vt320, falco,
hp700. Press the space bar to toggle through
these values. If none of these are applicable
then the CLI mode can be used. When an rlogin
connection is made, the unit passes this terminal
type to the host machine. Default is blank.
This field can contain up to 8 characters. If this
TERM
field is filled in, the server sends this string as the
terminal type, instead of the field above. This
allows the user to pass through the server an
unsupported terminal type or addition identity
information for security. Default is blank.
This field defines how many video pages the
Video pages
terminal in question has. If this value is set greater
than zero the server uses the video pages on the
terminal to allow it to refresh screens between
session switching. Not all terminals support video
pages (mainly Wyse 60's). Default is 0 .
