Service

Instructs the unit to start a user service by selecting one from the following list (once
the user is authenticated successfully):

csprompt: a login on the unit (the default setting). Use this service for you as the
system administrator, or for users who wish to run a single or multiple sessions on
Terminal Server connections; these sessions are configured within the unit.

Telnet: a Telnet service provided by the unit. Use this service when you/a user is
connected directly to a port via a serial line (i.e. not connected into one of the
network ports). When the telnet service starts, the user will be authenticated by the
host. Now go to the IP Host and TCP Port No fields.

Rlogin: an Rlogin service provided by the unit. Use this service when you are is
connected directly to a port via a serial line (i.e. not connected into one of the
network ports). When the rlogin service starts, the user will be authenticated by the
host. Now go to the IP Host field.

TCP clear: use for devices which require a login, i.e. authentication. Such devices
could be a bar code reader or smart card. ‘TCP clear’ provides a channel on which 8-
bit data is passed, without interpretation, to a host. It has the same meaning as the
TCP Clear login service specified in the RADIUS Authentication rfc.

SLIP: The SLIP service will be started using the SLIP parameters set for that line;
see

Configuring SLIP on page 78

. There will be no further login prompt (unless

callback is operating). The SLIP line settings will be taken from the settings
configured for that line.

Tip

When specifying the ‘SLIP’ option, we recommend you set the ‘line service’ on that
particular line to ‘cslogin’; see

Setting up the line on page 75

.

PPP: The PPP service will be started using the PPP parameters set for that line; see

Configuring PPP on page 82

. There will be no further login prompt (unless callback is

operating). The PPP line settings will be taken from the settings configured for that
line.

Tip

When specifying the ‘PPP’ option, we recommend you set the ‘line service’ on that
particular port to ‘cslogin’; see

Setting up the line on page 75

.

Note

Note also that some types of user service have the same name as line service types,
e.g. ‘user service: SLIP’ and ‘line service:SLIP’. User ‘service’ is explained in

Configuring a user account on page 100
