Overview of User Settings
PortMaster products allow you to configure network users, login users, dialback network users and dialback login users.
|
Network Users |
Each user dials in to an asynchronous serial, synchronous serial, or ISDN port on the PortMaster. A connection is established as soon as the user logs in. A PPP or SLIP (on asynchronous ports) session is started. This type of connection can be used for dial-in users or for other routers that need to access and transfer data from the network. Define this type of user when network packets must be sent through the connection. |
|
Login Users |
Each user begins an active shell session to a host on the network through an asynchronous serial or ISDN port on the PortMaster. The user logs in via a specific service---PortMaster (in.pmd), rlogin, Telnet, or netdata (TCP clear). |
|
Dialback Login Users |
This type of login user dials in and is disconnected by the PortMaster, which then dials the user back at a predefined location. |
|
Dialback Network Users |
This type of network user dials in and is disconnected by the PortMaster, which then dials the user back at a predefined telephone number. |
