Configuring Incoming Connections - Lantronix SCS Reference Manual

Basic Remote Networking
The username and password are compared to existing site names. One of the following occurs:
B
If the username matches the name of a site, the site will be checked to see if it has a local
1
password. If it does, this will be compared to the password entered by the caller. If the
passwords match, the user will begin using the custom site; the temporary site will stop
running.
If a site isn't configured with a password, or the password entered by the caller doesn't match
2
the site password, the username/password pair are compared to any authentication databases.
One of two outcomes is possible.
- If a match is found, the connection is successfully authenticated. The caller continues
using the temporary site for the remainder of the connection.
- If a match is not found, the connection attempt fails.
4.5.2.2 Ports Not Using Automatic Protocol Detection
If an incoming call is received on an SCS port that's not configured to automatically run PPP or SLIP, the
following login sequence occurs.
1 The caller sends a carriage return.
If the port is configured to prompt for a login password, the caller must enter the correct login
2
password to continue.
If the port is configured to prompt for a username, the caller must enter a username.
If the port is configured for authentication, the caller must enter a valid password for the username.
To start the link layer, the caller has to enter commands to start PPP or SLIP (Set PPP or Set SLIP).

One of two scenarios occurs:
A If the caller specifies a site to be started when PPP or SLIP is started, the user is attached to that
site. If the site is configured to prompt for its local password, the user must enter the site's local
password.
At this point, the caller is unable to run another site.
If a site isn't specified, the user is attached to a temporary site. The name of this site is based on
B
the port number used. For example, an incoming call to port number 6 generates a temporary site
named Port6. This site is then used for the remainder of the call.
