Configuring an Asynchronous Port 5-7
General Asynchronous Port Settings
To enable automatic login for a particular user on a particular port, use the following
command:
Command> set S0 username|autolog String
Setting a Port as the Console
You can set any asynchronous port to be the console for administrative functions such
as configuring the PortMaster. The set console command takes effect immediately. If
you use the save console command, the port remains the console even after the
current session is ended.
To set a port as the console port, use the following command:
Command> set console S0
Setting the Port Idle Timer
The idle timer is used to control how long the PortMaster waits after activity stops on a
port before disconnecting a dial-in connection, and how long the PortMaster should
wait for a response to a login, password, or host prompt.
You can set the idle time in seconds or minutes, to any value from 0 to 240. The default
setting is 0 minutes.
If set to the special value of 1 second, a dial-in user has 5 minutes to respond to a login,
password, or host prompt. If the user does not respond, the port resets, making it
available to another user. Setting the idle time to 1 second turns off the idle timer after
the user logs in.
Note – The idle time special value of 1 second applies only to asynchronous ports that
have modem control turned on with the set S0 cd on command. Ports that are in the
command state—with an administrator logged on—are not timed out with the special
value of 1 second. In ComOS releases earlier than 3.5, the idle time special value is 1
minute.
You can set the idle time of all the ports simultaneously by using the set all idletime
command.
