Example: Setting AUTOLINK Timers
The following example shows how to set AUTOLINK timers:
Local> DEFINE PORT AUTOLINK TIMER PASS ONE 30
Local> DEFINE PORT AUTOLINK TIMER PASS TWO 50
Timeouts
The following are the properties of AUTOLINK timeouts:
• A user has one minute to complete an interactive login successfully. The clock
starts from the time the USERNAME> prompt is displayed. This includes the
time for the user name/password request to be processed by the
authentication server. After one minute elapses, the port is logged out and the
modem is disconnected.
• When a terminal emulation window first appears, it is blank. Entering a
carriage return produces a USERNAME > prompt. If you do not enter a
carriage return, the prompt is displayed after a user-set timeout (AUTOLINK
PASS ONE). At this point the one minute time limit is initiated.
• If a user authenticates successfully in a terminal window (or a script), a single
carriage return or a lapse of a user-set timeout (AUTOLINK PASS TWO)
produces a local prompt. The user or the script can enter C PPP or C SLIP to
begin framed operation.
Using a Login Script
If you use a login script on the remote client, your script must include the
following:
Stage Description
1 The script must send a carriage return character. Alternatively, the script can
send no characters for [AUTOLINK TIMER PASS ONE] seconds (note that
this is not the preferred method).
2 The script searches for Username> and responds with the user’s user name
and a carriage return.
3 The script searches for Password> and responds with the user’s password
and a carriage return.
