Configuring the interface
Once you have enabled the terminal-server command-line interface, configure the interface
with the Banner, Login Prompt, Prompt, Prompt format, and Term Type parameters in the
TServ Options profile, in the Mod Config menu. By using these parameters, you control the
appearance of the terminal-server command-line interface. For example, the users of the MAX
unit’s terminal-server command-line interface may have unique terminology that it would be
helpful for you to use. Use these parameters to welcome the user to a part of your
organization’s network that serves a particular function, cue the user that the command-line
interface serves a particular group in your organization, or that the command-line interface
serves a particular class of user outside of your organization.
The terminal-server menu provides the user with the options of beginning a Telnet, PPP,
Rlogin, or Raw TCP session. You can specify the PPP option anywhere in the menu. For
Telnet, Raw TCP, and Rlogin, the host authenticates the session. For PPP, the MAX unit
authenticates the session.
Table 3-1 summarizes the TServ Options parameters that enable you to configure the
terminal-server command-line interface.
