Expert > Access Form Fields
Field Description
Authorized Users/Groups Restrict or deny access to a serial port by
specifying one or more users or groups.
You can deny access to one or more users
or groups by entering an exclamation point
(!) before the user or group name.
For example, to explicitly deny access to a
user called “noadmin” and enable access
only to a single user called “johnd” you
would enter the following:
!noadmin,johnd
Note that the names are separated by a
comma.
Type Select an authentication type for the serial
port from the pull-down list. The default is
no authentication (Type=None).
Note: Authentication type “None” is not a
valid option when the serial port is
configured for Power Management
connection protocol. The system defaults
to “Local” if no authentication type is
selected.
BidirectionLogin Timeout Configure the time for the serial port to
return to idle state, if the username is not
typed in the terminal after the login banner
is displayed. The default timeout value is
60 seconds.
This field is available only when a
Bidirectional Telnet protocol is selected
from Ports > Physical Ports > General >
Connection Protocol.
