Example: Enabling AUTOCONNECT
The following example shows how to enable AUTOCONNECT on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 AUTOCONNECT ENABLED
Specifying AUTOPROMPT
The AUTOPROMPT characteristic is only used with the LAT protocol. This
characteristic controls the initiation of a login process on some service nodes
when a session begins. The access server sends the status of the AUTOPROMPT
characteristic whenever you establish a new LAT service session.
By default, AUTOPROMPT is enabled. If the service node supports
AUTOPROMPT, the service node performs a system-specific login sequence, such
as displaying a service announcement or login prompt.
If you disable AUTOPROMPT and the service node recognizes this, the service
node does not perform any login sequence. Since devices without keyboards
cannot respond to a login sequence, you should disable AUTOCONNECT for
these devices.
Example: Disabling AUTOPROMPT
The following example shows how to disable AUTOPROMPT:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 AUTOPROMPT DISABLED
Specifying the Default Protocol
The following options are available with the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE PORT
DEFAULT PROTOCOL command:
• LAT — The access server defaults to the LAT protocol when the user does not
specify a protocol in the CONNECT command.
• SLIP — The access server defaults to the SLIP protocol when the user does not
specify a protocol in the CONNECT command.
• TELNET — The access server defaults to the Telnet protocol when the user
does not specify a protocol in the CONNECT command.
• ANY — The access server first searches the network resources on the LAT
network when the user does not specify a protocol in the CONNECT
command. If unsuccessful, the access server then searches the network
resources on the TCP/ IP network. The AUTOCONNECT characteristic must
be disabled when the default protocol is set to ANY.
