Adding a host to a PortMaster console server

This example will add a host named RAID to the terminal server on port S6 at 38400, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, and hardware flow control

  1. telnet to the port master and log in as !root, or any other admin user.
  2. add user raid
  3. set user raid service telnet 1006
    the TCP port number is 1000 plus the physical port number
  4. set user raid password pw4console
  5. save user
  6. set s6 databits 8
  7. set s6 parity no
  8. set s6 speed 38400
  9. set stopbits 1
  10. set s6 xon/xoff off
  11. set s6 rts/cts on
  12. set s6 service_dev telnet 1006
  13. set s6 device dialout
  14. save all
  15. reset s6
  16. show s6
  17. update DNS: add raid to the rts subdomain as a CNAME for this portmaster
  18. telnet to raid.rts, log in as the new user and see if it works.
