User Configuration
Although it is not required, the device server is often configured to
accommodate the requirements of particular users. Typical configurable
user attributes include:
• Whether the user is required to supply a password.
• Autoconnection attributes, such as the system to which the user
should be automatically connected at login.
• The interface the device presents the user, such as a menu or
command line.
• Whether the user has access to outbound ports.
Users select a user profile that most closely describes the user’s
environment. Profiles include:
• Console Management - expected to connect to and manage serial
devices that have a console port. Users can connect directly, use a
custom menu interface, or reverse telnet or SSH into a serial port.
