Creating and Managing Users

The ADDUSER command creates user IDs and privileges. The following screen
will be displayed when the command is used:
sys admin>>ADDUSER
Number of available user records: 50
Number of users defined: 0
Enter user id | USER ID >usr1
Press <ENTER> after typing the user ID. The user name is not case-sensitive.
The next prompt asks for a password for the user ID. When the user logs in for
the first time he will be asked for this password. This password is case-sensitive
and is pre-expired. The user must change the password before accessing any of
the ConsoleServer 800 device ports. The user password may be up to 10
alphanumeric characters long, and may not contain the "*" character. The
ConsoleServer 800 will echo only stars when the administrator enters the
password and confirmation
Enter case sensitive password | PASSWORD > ****
Re-enter case sensitive password | PASSWORD > ****
0-10 | MAX CONCURRENT LOGINS: 1>2
This parameter limits the number of simultaneous logins a user may have. The
administrator may select between 0 and 10 concurrent logins. A user with 0
logins will have connect and listen permissions defined, but cannot login to
access anything until a number of logins greater than 0 is defined.
Allowed devices example: 1-5,8 | DEVICES 0 > 1,5,7,8
The administrator is now prompted to define the device ports that the user will be
allowed to access for direct connections. If more than one port is to be allowed,
then the individual ports must be separated by a comma. A range of ports may
be specified using the dash ("-").
Allowed devices determines which devices a user may select for direct
access.
The Allow user to clear device buffer (Y/N) | YES > option
determines whether a user may use the CLEAR command to delete all the data
stored in a device port FIFO buffer. The administrator may want to inhibit this
ability to preserve user accountability when accessing attached devices. Users
are allowed to clear buffers by default. Pressing <ENTER> will allow the user to
clear the buffer; typing NO and then pressing <ENTER> at the prompt when
defining a user ID will disallow the user from clearing all device buffers.
