Terminal Server User Guide
Port setup menu
Option Description
Authentication This field defines how a user logs in. Default is none.
None This sets authentication off.
Local This forces the incoming user to enter the Terminal Server login
authentication password (same password for all ports).
Host This is full authentication requiring a user ID and password that will
be checked against a designated authentication host.
Both This provides two levels of security with Local authentication first,
then Host.
Mode This field defines whether the connection is raw or telnet. A raw
connection is a straight TCP connection. Setting the mode to telnet
causes it to do the telnet negotiations with a network connection. This
should be set to raw for RCP and LPD printing & modem connections,
and be set to telnet for reverse telnet connections.
Connection This field defines whether the user has access to multiple connections
or only a single connection, and the level of control the user has over
these connections.
None Terminal Server does not try to initiate any connections. The user has
full control and, access to all 4 sessions. This is the default.
Preferred Terminal Server makes an immediate connection to the indicated
host machine and port number. The Host, Remote and Mode
fields must be filled in. Although the user is connected to a
designated host, the user can hot key ^] back from this
connection to the unit. This allows a user to configure the system
so that they always log into one machine, but still have the option
of connecting to others.
Dedicated Terminal Server makes an immediate connection to the indicated
host and port number. The user is limited to only a single
connection to the indicated host, and can not hot key back to the
Terminal Server menus. The Host, Remote and Mode fields must
be set properly.
Initiated This setting is similar to the Dedicated connection, but requires
the user to enter the return key before initiating a connection. It is
widely used for terminal/PC connections.
Host This field defines the remote host to be connected to. Either a
host name or an IP address may be used. If a name is entered it
must be in the host table. Default is blank.
Remote Port This field defines the remote TCP or UDP port number for the
Terminal Server to connect to. Use port number 23 for telnet and
513 for rlogin. Default is 0.
Local Port This field defines the local TCP or UDP port number for the
Terminal Server to listen on. The port default to 10000 plus the
number of the port.
