8.8.5 Restricting Commands
The Security characteristic may be used to limit a user’s access to information about other ports. When
Security is enabled, only a limited number of commands may be typed at the Local> prompt. A user on a
secure port are unable to get information about other ports using the Show/List commands and can not
perform commands which require privileged access.
To enable Security on a particular port, use the
Set/Define Ports Security
command.

The
Set/Define Ports Broadcast
command enables or disables a port’s receipt of broadcast messages from
other users, including the superuser. Broadcast messages are enabled by default.

8.8.7 Dialback
The Dialback feature allows a system manager to set up a dialback list of authorized users for incoming
modem connections. When a username matching one in the list is entered, the port is logged out and the
phone number will be sent out the serial port using the port’s modem profile.
For a complete description of dialback, see
Security
on page 11-1.

Set/Define Ports Menu
enables menu mode for the specified ports.
