Parameter Description Value for
This Example
all.admin_users This parameter determines which users can open a sniff session , which
is where a second connected user can see everything that a first
connected user is doing on a given port. The second user can also
cancel the first user's session (and take over). Only two users can
connect to the same port simultaneously. This parameter is obligatory
when
authtype is not none , to determine who can open a sniff session or
cancel a previous session.
peter, john
s1.tty The device name for the port is set to the value given in this parameter.
If a device name is not provided for a port, it will not function.
ttyS1

and/or cancel sessions of other users.

FIGURE 4.7 CONSOLE SERVER PSLAVE.CONF PORT-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS (CONT.)
Execute the command signal_ras hup to activate the changes. At this point, the configuration should be
tested. A step-by-step check list follows.
1. Since Radius authentication was chosen, create a new user on the Radius authentication server called test
and provide him with the password test.
2. From the console, ping 200.200.200.2 to make sure the Radius authentication server is reachable.
3. Make sure that the physical connection between the Cyclades-TS and the servers is correct. A cross cable
(not the modem cable provided with the product) should be used. Please see the hardware specifications
appendix for pin-out diagrams.
4. The Cyclades-TS has been set for communication at 9600 bps, 8N1. The server must also be configured to
communicate on the serial console port with the same parameters. Also make sure that the computer is
configured to route console data to the serial console port.
