Names
You can specify names for networks, users and other system entities. Names
can be up to 32 ASCII characters, unless specified otherwise in the command
description. A name can contain white space, or other non-alphanumeric
characters, if you enclose the name with double quotes. Note that names are
case-sensitive.
Some examples are:
Desired name: Entered as:
Eric’s PC “Eric’s PC”
Server_number_3 Server_number_3
Users
A user entity is a table of parameters that are used when establishing a network
connection. The
add user
and
set user
commands define the parameters of a
user. The user command is employed when making WAN network (dial-in)
connections and for dial-out users.
Default User
The
default user
is a powerful and efficient tool created at system setup which
you can use to change many parameters of users you subsequently configure. It
is designed to be utilized as a template for multiple user configuration.
For instance, if you want to configure
all
your users to be
type callback
, write:
set user default type callback
The parameters that can be configured across the board are indicated by a (D)
when you type
show user <
name
>
. Be aware that when you use this tool, you

You can view the default user settings on your system by typing
show user
default
. Remember that configuration changes on an
individual
user basis are
done using the appropriate
set
commands.
