User - Black Box 37687 User Manual

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:
Terminal Server User Guide
Port setup menu
Option Description
Name This field defines the user name of this port on the Terminal 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 communications
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.
TERM This field can contain up to 8 characters. If this field is filled in, the
Terminal Server sends this string as the terminal type, instead of the
field above. This allows the user to pass through the Terminal Server
an unsupported terminal type or addition identity information for
security. Default is blank.
Video pages This field defines how many video pages the terminal in question has.
If this value is set greater than zero the Terminal 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.
CLI/Menu This field defines whether the Terminal Server is using the CLI or the
menu interface. If the terminal is configured for menu interface but the
terminal type is undefined or dumb, then the unit remains in the CLI.
Default will be Menu.
Reset Term This field defines whether the terminal type should be reset when a
user logs out. This is a very useful feature when the port is connected
to a modem. When a user logs out of Terminal Server it resets the
terminal type to dumb, so the next person starts off in CLI mode and is
able to set the terminal type correctly. Default is No.
