MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Basic Configuration Tasks
Establishing dial-in calls through terminal-server connections
•
No access, the default, which does not require a login and password to enter the
terminal-server CLI.
Enabling dial-in users to connect to hosts through the terminal-server command line
(terminal mode)
To configure the terminal server for dial-in users to connect to hosts through the
terminal-server command line, you need to assign values defining the following:
•
Whether the user’s screen includes status messages while the connection is being
established and whether the screen is cleared when the connection has been established
(the Silent and Clr Scrn parameters).
•
Login banner and prompts, if you do not want to accept the defaults. The defaults are:
***Ascend Terminal Server***
Login:
Password:
Use the Login Prompt and Passwd Prompt parameters to change the defaults.
•
A password to use for establishing the terminal-server session when the Security
parameter is set to require one (the Password parameter).
•
The command-line prompt, if you do not want to accept the default. The default is
ascend%
. Use the Prompt parameter to change the default.
•
How long to wait for a user to log in before timing out (the Login Timeout parameter).
Using Rlogin and Telnet from the command line
To configure the terminal server for the user to use Rlogin and Telnet commands at the
command line, you need to assign values defining:
•
A default terminal type (the Term Type parameter).
•
Whether users can type a hostname at the prompt to initiate a Telnet connection to the
host. If you set the Def Telnet parameter to Yes, the terminal server interprets any string
that does not begin with a command keyword as a Telnet hostname.
•
Whether a connection terminates when the user terminates an Rlogin or Telnet connection
(the Clear Call parameter).
•
Whether binary, ASCII, or transparent mode is the Telnet session default (the Telnet Mode
parameter).
•
A global default for local character echoing (the Local Echo parameter).
•
Whether the terminal server buffers characters before sending them to the host or sends
them as soon as they are received (the Buffer Chars parameter).
When using Rlogin to connect to a UNIX host, you can set the User-Name (1) attribute in the
RADIUS user profile. The MAX uses the attribute’s value as the login identification instead of
requiring the user to type a username. Users can override the User-Name value by entering the
Rlogin command as follows, replacing
alt_username
with the alternative username:
ascend% rlogin -l
alt_username
