Managing the DECserver 90L+
Enabling and Disabling Dedicated Service
The SET command is used to enable and disable dedicated service for a port.
Dedicated service allows a system manager to create a captive account, which
includes the option of defining a specific service, node, and port. This feature is
useful in situations where it is best for the user to have direct access to a specific
service, for example, shipping and receiving areas, clerical areas, and so on.
If dedicated service has been enabled for a port, the user of that particular port
will not see the DECserver 90L+ prompt or user interface. When the user types
Return
(after the autobaud sequence), the DECserver 90L+ will immediately
attempt to connect to the service chosen previously as the dedicated service.
Breaking to the DECserver 90L+ user interface is not allowed on a dedicated
service port.
If a dedicated service has been enabled, it will be listed in a show port screen
with the other port parameters.

command sequence.
