5.1 User
Authentication/
Logging
To improve access security, IOLAN+ has a mechanism for
authenticating users before allowing them access. This is
accomplished by prompting the user for a Login ID and a
password. IOLAN+ will then attempt to login to a specified
host using that ID and password. If successful, the user is
authenticated and allowed access. Otherwise, the call is
dropped. IOLAN+ will also log events such as logins,
logouts, connections and disconnections, and power ups.
This feature is enabled when you set the
Authentication field
to
host in the Port Setup Menu.
The following is the host authentication setup (via the Access
section of the Administration Menu ):
