Configure Autoconnection
The autoconnection feature allows you to configure a user to access the
device server and then be automatically connected to a host on the LAN.
You can implement autoconnection in the following ways:
• By port, where all port users are automatically connected to the same
host. The device server is completely transparent to them.
• By user, where a user is required to log on and may be required to
supply a password. Once the user is authenticated, an automatic
connection to a host is made.
To configure autoconnection, either by port or by user, use the following
commands:
• “set ports,” specifying the “auto,” “autoservice,” “dest,” “dev,” and “dport”
options. See "set ports" on page 169.
• “set user,” specifying the “name,” “autoconnect,” “autohost,” “autoport,”
and “defaultaccess” options. See "set user" on page 230.
Examples
Configure an autoconnect port
In this example, “set ports” configures the port so that all incoming users
are automatically connected via Telnet to the host specified on the “dest”
option. The port is also available for outgoing connections.
set ports range=1 auto=on dest=199.125.123.10 dev=mio dport=23
Configure an autoconnect user
In this example, “set user” configures user4 to be automatically connected
via Telnet to a host at address 199.193.150.10.
#> set user name=user4 autoconnect=on autohost=199.193.150.10 autoport=23
defaultaccess=autoconnect
