Configuring and Managing LAT Services
Example: Clearing the Identification String
To clear a previously set service identification string, enter the ID qualifier with
empty quotations marks, as shown in the following example:
Local> CHANGE SERVICE LN03_PRINT PORT 5-7,12 ID ""
Assigning a Port Name
Assigning a port name to a service limits the service’s availability. When you
assign a port name to a service:
• The service is not listed in the access server multicast message.
• The service is available only to those users that know the port name.
Also, the access server transmits the port name to Telnet servers during Telnet
sessions at the port.
Port Naming Guidelines
When you select a port name for a device, follow these guidelines:
• The factory-set default port name is PORT_n, where n is the port number.
• Port names must be a string of 1 to 16 characters long and cannot be
abbreviated.
• Allowable characters are A to Z, 0 to 9, $, - (hyphen), _ (underscore), and .
(period).
• Each port name must be unique to the access server.
Example: Changing the Port Name
The following example shows how to change the port name to
PERSONNEL_PRINT for a printer on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 NAME PERSONNEL_PRINT
Specifying the Service Password
An optional service password restricts access to a service. When a service contains
a password, the access server prompts you for the password before allowing you
to use the service.
There are two characteristics that you need to specify: SERVICE PASSWORD and
PASSWORD LIMIT.
The service password can be up to 16 ASCII characters.
