Configuring Access to a LAT Service
12-4 Configuring and Managing LAT Services
Assigning an Identification String
A service identification string helps users recognize and use the service. It can be up
to 40 characters in length. The factory-set default is no identification string.
Example: Assigning the Service Name, to a Specific Port and Identification String
The following example shows how to assign a service name LN03_PRINT to the
printers connected to ports 5, 6, 7, and 12. This example shows IDENTIFICATION
abbreviated to ID and uses the identification string Production Printer.
Local> CHANGE SERVICE LN03_PRINT PORT 5-7,12 ID "Production
Printer"
Example: Clearing the Identification String
To clear a previously set service identification string, enter the ID qualifier with empty
quotations marks, as shown in the following example:
Local> CHANGE SERVICE LN03_PRINT PORT 5-7,12 ID ""
Assigning a Port Name
Assigning a port name to a service limits the service’s availability. When you assign a
port name to a service:
•
The service is not listed in the access server multicast message.
•
The service is available only to those users that know the port name.
Also, the access server transmits the port name to Telnet servers during Telnet sessions
at the port.
Port Naming Guidelines
When you select a port name for a device, follow these guidelines:
•
The factory-set default port name is PORT_n, where n is the port number.
•
Port names must be a string of 1 to 16 characters long and cannot be abbreviated.
•
Allowable characters are A to Z, 0 to 9, $, - (hyphen), _ (underscore), and .
(period).
•
Each port name must be unique to the access server.
Example: Changing the Port Name
The following example shows how to change the port name to PERSONNEL_PRINT
for a printer on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 NAME PERSONNEL_PRINT
