Port Access Menu Configuration
The Port Access Menu provides a menu-driven command-line interface for
Digi Passport users to access equipment through a standardized interface
without using the Web interface. It is one of several alternative mechanisms
available. Other alternatives include custom menus and direct access to the
port via IP address or socket number. For more details about custom menus,
see "Custom and Default Menus" on page 157.
In the web interface, the Port Access menu configuration page configures
the basic options for the Port Access Menu, including the socket, protocol, and
authentication for using this feature. To access this page, go to
Serial port > Configuration > Port access menu configuration.
The Login on port access setting controls whether a login is forced whenever
a user accesses the port. Enable means a login is forced. Disable means that
the access rights from the user logged to the port access menu are inherited.
