Example: Enabling a Preferred LAT Service on a Specific Node and Port
The following example shows how to specify that port 5 connects to port JAMES
on node MARKETING for service FILES:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 PREFERRED FILES NODE MARKETING
DESTINATION JAMES
For the Telnet Protocol
To set an Internet host as a preferred service, the port’s default protocol must be
set to TELNET. You can use the host’s Internet address, domain name, or relative
domain name if the host is defined in a name server; however, you cannot use the
entire domain name if the name is more than 16 characters, including the dots.
Example: Enabling a Preferred Telnet Service
The following example shows how to enable a resource on the TCP/IP network,
SALE.MKT.FOO.COM, as a preferred service on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 PREFERRED SALE.MKT.FOO.COM
Specifying the Port USERNAME
By factory-set default, the Enter username> prompt appears when a user logs in
to the access server port. The access server uses the user name as the string the
user enters in response to the Enter username> prompt. However, the access
server uses the port’s name as the user name when the user enters Ctrl/Z instead
of a user name.
You can use the USERNAME characteristic to establish a permanent user name (1
to 16 ASCII characters) for a port. In this case, the Enter username> prompt is not
displayed when a user logs in to the access server. Always make an effort to
specify a unique user name, since the access server does not prevent duplicate
user names.
Examples: Configuring Port USERNAME
The following example sets the port 5 user name to “Barney”:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 USERNAME "Barney"
If you do not use the quotation marks in the command, the user name will appear
in uppercase (for example, BARNEY instead of Barney).
To clear USERNAME, enter empty quotation marks as follows:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 USERNAME ""
