2. Enter the following:
Enable NIS Displays selected if you enabled this method on the Authentication Methods page.
If you want to set up this authentication method but not enable it immediately, clear
the checkbox.
Note: You can enable NIS here or on the first User Authentication page. If you
enable NIS here, it automatically displays at the end of the order of precedence on
the User Authentication page.
NIS Domain The NIS domain of the SLC 8000 advanced console manager must be the same as
the NIS domain of the NIS server.
Broadcast for NIS
Server
If selected, the SLC unit sends a broadcast datagram to find the NIS Server on the
local network.
NIS Master Server The IP address or host name of the master server.
NIS Slave
Servers #1 -5
The IP addresses or host names of up to five slave servers.
Custom Menu If custom menus have been created you can assign a default custom menu to NIS
users.
Escape Sequence A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC 8000
advanced console manager to leave direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen
mode, press any key.)
A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase "A" performed quickly
but not simultaneously). You would specify this value as \x1bA, which is
hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by an A.
This setting allows the user to terminate the connect direct command on the
command line interface when the endpoint of the command is deviceport, tcp, or
udp.
Break
Sequence
A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to send
a break signal to the external device. A suggested value is Esc+B (escape key,
then uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify
this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by a B.
Enable for Dial-back Select to grant a user Dial-back (on page 153). Users with dial-back access can
dial into the SLC 8000 advanced console manager and enter their login and
password. Once the SLC unit authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials
them back. Disabled by default.
Dial-back Number The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this setting for the device
port. The user is either dialed back on a fixed number, or on a number that is
associated with the user’s login (specified here).
Data Ports The ports users are able to monitor and interact with using the connect direct
command. Enter the port numbers or the range of port numbers (for example, 1, 5,
8, 10-15). U1 and U2 denote the USB upper and lower ports on the front of the SLC
unit.
Listen Ports The ports users are able to monitor using the connect listen command.
Clear Port Buffers The ports whose port buffer users may clear using the set locallog clear command.
