Function Description
device. Data is collected on a RAMdisk as
either buffered data or files. Error messages,
buffered console output, traffic data and other
information can be subsequently delivered to
a central location through a dial-up or network
connection.
Security Management
The terminal server maintains a database of authorized users. Only
users listed in the database who successfully authenticate are allowed
access. Supported authentication methods include the following
password-oriented methods: Password, Callback and Variable Callback.
The terminal server is configured for use with the following token
methods, but the current version of the Central Web Console does not
support their use: PassKey, and Pager.
The terminal server supports five access classes. Only a system
administrator, logged into a SYSOP session as Master, can modify user
profiles or the user database. The access class determines which ports
can be addressed and what information can be viewed or modified
within the terminal server.
Network Capabilities
The terminal server has both an Ethernet and a PPP TCP/IP network
connection. Network connections support Telnet—to the terminal server
and to attached hosts, FTP—for buffer and file delivery, and SNMP—for
TRAP delivery to network management stations. In addition, the terminal
server routes traffic between its network interfaces, allowing it to act as
a secure, remote-access server for maintenance applications.
