3.4 Security
Your modem has the powerful facility of a two level access code (password) facility
we call "User" and "Administrator" levels. The codes will both protect your system
from unauthorised connection/communication and allow the on-line configuration of
the remote modem's parameters. Once set, anyone dialling in must enter the correct
User access code before data will be allowed to pass through to your system. The
modem will disconnect the line after the third 'wrong code'.
3.4.1 Normal Operation
1)
User Access Code Installed
Dial the modem in the normal way from a PC and after connection has
!
been established the modem will make the request 'ENTER
PASSWORD'.
Enter your access code (up to 8 characters, UPPER CASE ONLY) plus
!
a carriage return <enter>.
If the correct code has been entered the modem will establish full
!
connection, providing an open line to your system. If an incorrect code
has been entered the modem will repeat the 'ENTER PASSWORD'
prompt for a total of three attempts.
Failure to enter the correct code on the third attempt will cause the
!
modem to hang up and the 'NO CARRIER' message will be displayed.
2)
User Access Code Disabled (default)
No request for a code will be displayed and an open data connection to
!
your system is made.
3)
Administrator Access Code
Dial the modem in the normal way from a PC Terminal application and
!
wait for the usual 'CONNECTED' prompt to be returned.
If the User Access Code had been previously enabled you will be
!
prompted with 'ENTER PASSWORD', as normal. Do not enter the
"User" code.
Enter the Administrator code (up to eight characters, UPPER CASE
!
ONLY) followed by <enter>. The default code is ADMIN.
If the correct code has been entered, "OK" will be returned and you
!
will then be allowed to access the specialised modem settings of the
remote modem. This is referred to as the "Online Configuration"
mode, (see section 3.5.2).
You only have one chance to type the correct code, unless you have the
!
"User" code enabled, then there will be three chances.
When you have completed any changes, type *** (three stars) and wait
!
until the remote modem responds with "OK". The modem will then
effect any changes made and establish an open line to your system.
NOTE: To be able to use the password facility the user should use a terminal
application, such as the Terminal programme, provided. Using software with built-in
Modem support may not provide password facility.
