Planning a Class
The class worksheets in Appendix A will help you plan a class. Prior to
configuring the classes, define which ports are to be grouped together and the
following information:
Class Name
A group of ports that is searched when this class
name is requested. Refer to Class Name Syntax in
the paragraph titled
Class Names
, below.
Note:
When selecting a class, it must be unique.
Switching class names and LAN class names may
not be duplicated.
Secondary Class
An alternate group of ports, which will be searched
(if applicable)
should all ports in the primary class name be
unavailable. The secondary class must already be
defined as a class.
Class Password
The password assigned to each class. See Password
Syntax, in
Password Protection
below.
Class Message
The message to be displayed after the connection is
made. See
Class Message
, next page.
Class Names
Class Name
Class names may be up to eight (8) characters long.
Syntax
Only alpha characters (az, AZ), numeric characters
(09), and the underbar symbol (_) can be used. The
first two characters must be alpha. Names are not
case sensitive; therefore hp_acctg, HP_ACCTG and
HP_Acctg are the same name.
Password Protection
Password protection is available for all ports assigned to a class. If a
password is assigned, the user will be prompted for the class password before
being allowed to continue. After two unsuccessful password attempts, the
call will be disconnected.

The factory default value is Null (no) password.
Password
Valid passwords must be alphanumeric characters
Syntax
and have a maximum length of eight characters. If
no password is required (after it has once been
configured), enter a space and carriage return at the
password configuration prompt.

This is not true for ports configured for dedicated protocol. On dedicated protocol, there is no limitation.
