Vmodem This setting causes the IOLAN port to behave as if it were a modem to
the attached device.
See the Chapter 7 Vmodem (Virtual modem) for details.
Authentication This field defines how a user logs in. Default is none.
None This sets authentication off.
Local This forces the incoming user to enter the IOLAN+ login
authentication password (same password for all ports).
Host This is full authentication requiring a user ID and password that will
be checked against a designated authentication host.
Both This provides two levels of security with Local authentication first,
then Host.
Mode This field defines whether the connection is raw or telnet. A raw
connection is a straight TCP connection. Setting the mode to telnet
causes it to do the telnet negotiations with a network connection. This
should be set to raw for RCP and LPD printing & modem connections,
and be set to telnet for reverse telnet connections.
Connection This field defines whether the user has access to multiple connections
or only a single connection, and the level of control the user has over
these connections.
None IOLAN+ does not try to initiate any connections. The user has full
control and, access to all 4 sessions. This is the default.
Preferred IOLAN+ makes an immediate connection to the indicated host
machine and port number. The Host, Remote and Mode fields
must be filled in. Although the user is connected to a designated
host, the user can hot key ^] back from this connection to the unit.
This allows a user to configure the system so that they always log
into one machine, but still have the option of connecting to others.
Dedicated IOLAN+ makes an immediate connection to the indicated host
and port number. The user is limited to only a single connection to
the indicated host, and can not hot key back to the IOLAN+
menus. The Host, Remote and Mode fields must be set properly.
Initiated This setting is similar to the Dedicated connection, but requires
the user to enter the return key before initiating a connection. It is
widely used for terminal/PC connections.
Host This field defines the remote host to be connected to. Either a
host name or an IP address may be used. If a name is entered it
must be in the host table. Default is blank.
Remote Port This field defines the remote TCP or UDP port number for
IOLAN+ to connect to. Use port number 23 for telnet and 513 for
rlogin. Default is 0.
Local Port This field defines the local TCPor UDP port for IOLAN+ to listen
on. The port default to 10000 plus the number of the port.
