Network Dial In Access 5-5

Step 2 - Optional friendly stuff

The following two parameters allow you to customize the port’s
printed response to dial in users. Note that Hardwired ports do
not use these settings.

Login Message

You can create a message (banner) that users will see prior to
login.

set s<port #> message <login message>

The login message can be up to 240 characters in length and
does not need to be surrounded by quotation marks (if you use
quotes, they will be included in the message). Use the carat ( ^ )
to designate the start of a new line. Example:

set s15 message U.S. Robotics^NETServer

Login Prompt

You can also customize the login prompt for each port. The
default prompt for network dial in ports is login:. Use the
following command:

set s<port #> prompt <login prompt>

If you use quotation marks, they will be included in the prompt.

Many automated login scripting systems expect a login prompt
to end in login:. Putting any character after the colon (including
quotation marks!) will cause some login scripts to crash.

Step 3 - Dialback Users on this Port?

If dialback users will be dialing into this port, it is a good idea
for the NETServer to be able to use the same port for dial out.
This makes sure that a dial out port will be available to dial the
user back. Part of this was done in Step 1, when you setup the
port as network twoway . The other thing that needs to be done
for a dial out port is assign the port to a dial group.

set s<port #> group <group # (0-99)>
