New Features and Changes
The 3810, 3811, and 3820 modems can be configured to
require both a VF-side (Voice Frequency) password and
a DTE-side (Data Terminal Equipment) password before
DTE access is permitted.
The new Set Answer Security option VF_w/_DTE allows
specification of related VF-Side and DTE-side password
pairs. In this configuration, a DTE-side password
submitted must not only be a valid Password Table entry,
but must match the particular entry associated with the
valid VF-side password that was submitted.
The passwords are associated with each other by their
index in the Password Table: VF_plus_DTE passwords
occupy odd-numbered index locations; their DTE_Entry
counterparts occupy the even-numbered index locations
that immediately follow. So, for example, if a VF-side
password is entered that matches the entry in index
location 11, the DTE-side password subsequently entered
must match the entry in index location 12.
VF_plus_DTE passwords must be unique in a
VF_w/_DTE configuration. An attached DTE in
asynchronous operation is required for DTE-side
password entry.
Up to 10 password pairs are permitted. On the
3811 modem this can be optionally increased with the
Expanded Password Table feature, which permits
1500 password pairs.
