• None
This option (the default setting) gives the user unrestricted access to the LAN/Intranet.
• Telnet
This option allows Telnet sessions between the designated server (defined in the Host IP Address
field) and the remote user. Telnet is an applications-level protocol commonly found in IP-based
networks that allows terminal emulation at a remote workstation. If you select Telnet, you must enter
an IP address in the Host IP Address field. This limits the user to only specific functions on the
network.
• RLogin
This option allows the RASFinder to be used as an RLogin client for connecting to an RLogin Server
(defined in the Host IP Address field). RLogin is an application protocol that provides a terminal
interface between Unix hosts using TCP/IP network protocol. Unlike Telnet, RLogin assumes that the
remote host is a Unix machine. If you select RLogin, you must also enter an IP address in the Host
IP Address field. This limits the user to only specific functions on the network.
Host IP Address
Enter the IP Address for the Telnet or RLogin host computer (server). The Host IP Address must be in
dotted-decimal notation format.
Note: This field is enabled (activated) only when either Telnet or RLogin is enabled.
Protocols
The Protocols group enables you to limit the remote user to IP routing, IPX routing, or bridging
(Spanning Tree); or, a combination of any two or all three routing protocols. The default setting is for
all three protocols enabled.
User Service Types
The User Service Types group enables you to set the permissions for the entry being configured. The
systems administrator can enable or disable the following options to customize the types of services
for a particular remote user. By default, all permissions are enabled. To deny permissions to the entry
being configured, click (check) the box to the left of the permission to disable the feature.
• Outbound Permissions - grants dial-out rights to remote user.
• Inbound Permissions - grants dial-in rights to user.
• Framed Protocol Permissions - grants the remote user framed protocol rights (e.g.,
Framed Protocol – PPP). By enabling (checking) this option, the user becomes an
unrestricted user (i.e., both framed and unframed protocols are allowed).
• Telnet Permissions - grants the remote user Telnet file transfer rights.
• RLogin Permissions - grants the remote user RLogin server connection rights.
Time Limits
The Time Limits group enables the systems administrator to impose various types of time-related
restrictions on the user account.
Time of the Day Logins
The User Permission grid enables the administrator to deny a remote user Internet access at certain
times during the week. This would be applicable when the administrator wants to bring a system
down for a particular reason and doesn’t want users to access the Internet at that time.
By default, all time periods are color-filled with yellow indicating that the remote user has permission
to access the Internet all the time. To deny permission for certain periods of time, click all applicable
yellow boxes over the target time range to toggle them to red (Access Denied).
