Introduction
Server Features
1-3
Connectivity
The Server connects terminals directly to the network, which conserves physical ports on the host,
allows the terminal to access more than one host, and simplifies terminal cabling.
Multiple Session Support
Users can open multiple outgoing LAT, Rlogin, and Telnet sessions, and can easily switch among
active sessions. Up to eight sessions are supported per connected terminal. Each session can be con-
nected to any host and can use any supported protocol.
Load Balancing
If a LAT service is provided by more than one node, the server chooses the least busy service for
the connection. This helps balance CPU usage and provides better user response times.
Small Size
The small, attractive case is designed to fit into any office environment. Because there is no internal
fan, the ETS operates silently.
Ease of Use
The server’s Local mode supports command line editing, command line recall, and command com-
pletion. An extensive Help facility is also provided.
Easy Configuration
The EZWebCon utility (provided on CD-ROM) allows users to configure the ETS from a any host
machine running the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It also allows remote host logins into the Server,
which are similar to Telnet and LAT logins.
Note:
You must be Supervisor to run the EZWebCon utility on a NetWare client.
Dialback ports, which allow managers to improve security for dial-in modem users. A menu mode,
which enables managers to tailor which individual commands users are allowed to use.
Remote Configuration
The ETS can be logged into and remotely configured using one of the following methods:
❍
Digital’s NCP and TSM facilities
❍
The Telnet console port, similar to the NCP remote console
❍
The network login feature, which allows managers to log into the ETS via TCP/IP, LAT, and
NetWare.
❍
EZWebCon, a configuration application that runs on any host computer running the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM).
