Configuring and Managing Interactive Devices
Example: Configuring LOCK
The following example shows how to enable LOCK on the access server, while
disabling LOCK on ports 5 through 7:
Local> CHANGE SERVER LOCK ENABLED
Local> CHANGE PORT 5-7 LOCK DISABLED
Since anyone can LOCK any terminal, the LOCK facility can cause inconvenience
in a situation where there are irresponsible users. If a user forgets the LOCK
password, you have to log out the port with the LOGOUT command before the
port can be used again. However, the LOGOUT command disconnects all
sessions on that port. In that case, it may be best to disable LOCK on that port and
rely on users to protect their sessions by disconnecting them when they must
leave the terminal unattended.
Displaying Information About the Users
You can use the SHOW/MONITOR USERS command to do the following:
• Determine which ports are in use at any time.
• Identify the port users.
• Display information about active port users.
Example: SHOW USERS Display
The following example shows how to generate a users display. The display
contains one line of information for each port that is logged in to the access server:
Local> SHOW USERS
