Configuring Users
Set User
Description Sets users settings. Normal-level users can configure only their own settings.
Admin-level users can configure any users settings, including their own (with the
exception of their User Level, which must stay at Admin).

Options host-ip
For outbound User Services such as Telnet, this is the target host name or IP address. If
no IP address is specified, the
Host IP value in the Default User configuration will be
used. The default is
0.0.0.0. or None.
hotkey-prefix
The prefix that a user types to control the current session. The default value is hex 01,
which corresponds to
Ctrl-a (^a) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):
z ^a number—To switch from one session to another, press ^a and then the required
session number. For example,
^a 2 would switch you to session 2. Pressing ^a 0
will return you to the IOLAN Menu.
z ^a n—Display the next session. The current session will remain active. The lowest
numbered active session will be displayed.
z ^a p—Display the previous session. The current session will remain active. The
highest numbered active session will be displayed.
z ^a m—To exit a session and return to the IOLAN. You will be returned to where
you left off. The session will be left running.
z ^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted
for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user
must retype the password to unlock the line.
z ^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be
redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly. This is
always
Ctrl R, regardless of the Hotkey Prefix.
The
User Hotkey Prefix value overrides the Line Hotkey Prefix value. You can use the
Hotkey Prefix keys to lock a line only when the line Lock parameter is On.
idle-timer
The amount of time, in seconds, that the Idle Timer will run. Use this timer to close a
connection because of inactivity. When the
Idle Timer expires, because there has been
no exchange of data within the specified time, the IOLAN will close the connection.
The default value is
0 (zero), meaning that the Idle Timer will not expire (the
connection is open permanently). The maximum value is 4294967
seconds. The User
Idle Timer
will override the Line Idle Timer, with the exception of reverse Telnet
sessions.
language
You can specify whether a user will use English or Customlang as the language that
appears in the Menu or CLI. The IOLAN supports one custom language that must be
downloaded to the IOLAN; otherwise,
Customlang defaults to English.
