6-6 Network Dial-Out Acces

Telnet users

If you want to TELNET to a NETServer modem and have

already added a modem group and dialout user, you must

configure network service as follows: telnetd as server_type, a

socket number above 1024 (to avoid conflicts with existing socket

numbers), and DATA parameter type=dialout, at a minimum.

Optionally, you can set a login banner or login prompt as follows:

• login_banner=<string>

• login_prompt=<string>

If you don’t want this user to require authentication, add

auth=off to the data values. Auth=on is the default. Also, do not

add a user when setting this value.

Important: You cannot assign more than one modem group to a

TELNET network service.

Note: If any data string value includes a space, enclose it in double

quotations and forward slashes. Also, adding control characters

\r\n to banners or prompts places a carriage return after the

string.

For example:

add network service modems server_type telnetd socket 6666 data

service_type=dialout,modem_group=all login_banner=\”Hi y’all\r\n\’

Note: Type list services to review your network service settings.

The above example makes available all modem ports (8 or 16)

assigned to the default modem group all. If you want to make

only one port available to this TELNET user, create a modem

group with only one modem assigned to it. For example:

add modem_group “telnet users” interface mod:5

Next, TELNET to the NETServer’s IP address with a TCP Port

number matching the previously set socket number.

Note: Windows 95 users: replace Telnet with the socket number

in the Port: field of the Connect dialog box.
