Using the ETS Connecting to Services
6-3
◆ Authorized Groups configures all the service groups the port can possibly use. Use the Set/Define
Port Authorized Groups command to specify which of the Authorized groups are actually enabled.
◆ Autobaud lets the ETS attempt to automatically set the port’s speed and parity based on the first
characters typed at login (they must be Returns). Autobaud works if the port is at least 1200 baud and
is using eight bit characters, or seven bit characters with even parity.
◆ Autostart forces the ETS to log itself in immediately upon booting rather than wait for the input of a
carriage return. If modem control is enabled, the connection will be established when the DSR signal
is asserted. If there is a dedicated host or service, the ETSwill connect to it; if not, it will display the
Local> prompt.
Note: Autostart should remain disabled (the default) if network connections are
desired.
◆ Dedicated sets up the port so that it can only connect to one specific service and nothing else. When
a user logs in on the port, he will be connected to the service; when he logs out of the remote service,
he will be logged out of the ETS.
◆ Name sets the port’s name for identification purposes (not to be confused with the username, which
identifies who is using the port).
◆ Password, governs whether the ETS password is required for logins.
◆ Security controls whether the port can execute restricted commands.
◆ Session Limit sets the maximum number of open sessions the port can have at a given time. The port
session limit must be less than or equal to the ETS’s session limit.
6.3 Connecting to Services
After configuring and using the ETS in Local mode, you will probably want to connect to remote hosts. A
remote host is any host beyond your ETS, whether it is in another country or in the same office as you are.
In addition to connecting to remote hosts, you can access the ETS from within your UNIX or VMS session
using LAT, Telnet, or Rlogin. This means that you can remotely connect to the ETS to access its services
just as if you had logged in locally. You can also access remote printers that are not directly connected to
your system. The following section explains how to make these connections.
6.3.1 Connecting to LAT Services
To connect to a LAT service, use the Connect command and give the service name, for example:

This will connect you with the highest rated service named Harvey on the network (see the discussion of
ratings in the Concepts chapter for more information about ratings).
