About Autoconnection
The autoconnection feature allows you to configure a user to access the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 and then be
automatically connected to a host on the LAN. You can implement autoconnection in the following ways:
• By port. In this case, all port users are automatically connected to the same host. The Digi One/PortServer TS
2/4 is completely transparent to them.
• By user. In this case, a user is required to login and may be required to supply a password, but once the user is
authenticated, an automatic connection to a host is made.
