Global user parameters

The following parameters apply to all users in the user table.

Assigned Address

Optional. The Assigned Address is the first of 9 (NETServer/8)
or 17 (NETServer/16) consecutive IP addresses. One address is
set aside for each modem plus an additional address for the
external serial port (s0). Network users whose IP address field
are set to “assigned” are given one of these IP addresses when
they dial in to the NETServer. Use the following command:

set assigned <first IP address of block>

Note:

Be careful to choose a starting address so that the last

addresses in the block do not extend beyond the last legal
address on the subnet.

Connect Message

When this parameter is on, the NETServer will issue a “Con-
nected” message to login users after they have been successfully
connected to a host. This can be useful when the host itself does
not give such feedback.

set connectmessage <

on | off>

Default Host

This is the IP address of the host that a user will log into if there
is no host specified in his or her user table entry and no host
specified for the port he or she is connected to. See also Random-
ize Hosts
, below. Use the following command:

set host <IP address>

Alternates

If the global default host is not available, a user will be directed
to one of these alternate hosts. Use the following command:

set host <host #> <IP address>

<host #> is a number 2-9. (The Default Host is 1. If a number is
not given, the software assumes 1)
