Configuring an Asynchronous Port 5-11
Configuring a Port for Access to Shared Devices
Setting the Login Host
You can specify how the login host is determined for the selected port. The three ways
to determine the login host are described in Table 5-2.
Setting the Terminal Type
You can set the terminal type for a port if it has been configured as a user login or
twoway port and you have set the login service to PortMaster, rlogin, or Telnet. The
terminal type is passed as an environment variable when a connection is established
with a host. The terminal type should be compatible with the host you are logging in to.
You can set the terminal type for all asynchronous ports simultaneously using the set
all termtype command.
Configuring a Port for Access to Shared Devices
One of the functions of a communications server is to provide network users access to
shared devices such as printers and modems. The port connected to the printer or
modem can provide shared access if it is configured as a host device port. This
configuration is also useful when using the UNIX
tip command and UNIX-to-UNIX
Copy Protocol (UUCP) services.
Once a port is defined as host device, a device service must be selected that defines the
method used to connect the user to the specified port and device. Host device services
include PortMaster, Telnet, and netdata.
