Configuring Settings for Network and Login Users
The following settings can be configured for either network or login users.
Setting a Password
To set a password for either a login or network user, use the following command:
Command> set user Username password Password
The password can contain between 0 and 16 printable ASCII characters.
Setting the Idle Timer
The idle timer defines the number of minutes or seconds the line can be idle—in both
directions—before the PortMaster disconnects the user. You can set the idle time in
seconds or minutes, with any value between 2 and 240. The default setting is 0 minutes.
The idle timer is not reset by RIP, keepalive, or SAP packets.
To set the idle timer, use the following command:
Command> set user Username idle Number [ minutes | seconds ]
To disable the idle timer, set the time to 0 minutes.
Setting the Session Limit
You can define the maximum length of a session permitted before the PortMaster
disconnects the user. The session length can be set to between 0 and 240 minutes.
To set the session limit, use the following command:
Command> set user Username session-limit Minutes
To disable the session limit, set the time to 0.
Configuring Network Users
Network users establish PPP or SLIP connections with the network as soon as they have
been authenticated.
