Providing A Navigation Menu For Each User - Digi PortServer II User Manual

Providing a navigation menu for each user

You can configure a menu for each user that is displayed automatically when he or she
logs in or enters menu at the command line prompt. The menu would typically
display a list of servers or systems to which the user can connect. Each menu can have
up to 20 lines, including two titles lines. You define each line of the menu with a
separate command.
1. Create each line of the menu, by entering the following command as many times
as necessary:
set menu range=<menu> [options]
<menu> is a unique number that identifies this menu. The options specify a
command to execute or an informational message to display.
For example, the following five commands specify a complete menu:
set menu range=1 t1="
set menu range=1 t2="Networking Products and Solutions"
set menu range=1 m1="Choose one of the following systems:"
set menu range=1 c3="telnet corporate"
set menu range=1 c5="telnet engineering"
In this example, t1 and t2 are title lines, m1 is an informational line, and c3 and c5
are command lines. For detailed information, refer to set menu in the Com-
mand Reference Guide.
Note: To remove a line, type rmentry=<line_number>.
2. Check the menu seen by the user is correct by logging in with their normal user
name and password:
For the example in step 1, the menu should appear as shown below:
Digi International Inc.
Networking Products and Solutions
Choose one of the following systems:
1 - telnet corporate
2 - telnet engineering
0 - exit
Note: Notice the double spacing between lines.
