Note that if you see:
    config.users.total
                  it means you have 0 Users configured.
So, your new User will be the existing total plus 1; if the previous com-
mand gave you 0, then you start with user number 1; if you already have 
1 user your new user will be number 2 etc.
 
If you want a user named “user1” with a password of “secret” who will 
have access to serial port 5 from the network you need to issue the these 
commands (assuming you have a previous user in place):
    # /bin/config –-set=config.users.user2.username=user1
   # /bin/config –-set=config.users.user2.password=secret
   # /bin/config –-set=”config.users.user2.description=The Second
                                                 User”
   # /bin/config –-set=config.users.user2.port5=on
   # /bin/config –-set=config.users.total=2
 
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new 
configuration.
    # /bin/config –-run=users

You can further restrict remote access to serial ports based on the source 
IP address.  To configure this via the command line you need to do the 
following:
Determine the total number of existing trusted network rules (if you have 
no existing rules) you can assume this is 0.
    # /bin/config –-get=config.portaccess.total
This command should display:
    config.portaccess.total 1
