13.1 PORT ACCESS AND ACTIVE USERS
The Administrator can see which Users have access privileges with which serial ports:
Select Status > Port Access.
The Administrator can also see the current status of Users who have active sessions on those ports:
Select Status > Active Users.
FIGURE 13-1.
With firmware v3.11 and later the Status > Active Users menu has been extended to enable Administrators to selectively terminate
serial sessions. Connection types telnet, SSH, raw TCP and unauthenticated telnet can be disconnected. However you cannot
disconnect an RFC2217 session.
The root user, or any user in the admin group, can access the Active Users page, which shows a snapshot of the connected
sessions, at the time indicated by the timestamp displayed at the top of the page. Note that this page only shows the local console
ports and does not include any cascaded ports.
There are Disconnect Sessions buttons along the right hand side of the table listing active users. These buttons disconnect
all sessions from the Port they correspond to. If the port is not set up in Console Server mode, the user will see a pop up error
informing them that they need to configure the port as Console Server mode before they can connect and disconnect.
