Security Dial-Back

The Dial-Back feature serves as an additional level of security when accessing the NetGuardian from
the modem. Once users are assigned a logon profile, along with a unique NetGuardian logon password,
the unit can be set to initiate a dial-back when a valid logon password is entered. If a valid password is
entered users will see accepted, Disconnecting. The NetGuardian will then hang up and dial back to
the users modem using the number entered in the logon profile. When the NetGuardian dials back, the
user will be logged on to whatever security access that user has been granted in their logon profile.
!
Hot Tip!
To enable dial-back security, at least one of the access privileges must be activated and a call back
phone number must be defined. As long as the dial-back security mode is enabled, that will be the only
method of external dial-up access to the unit.
Enter a username or a user description. (18 characters maximum)
Enter a unique user password. (4 character minimum)
Note: This password will be used by the NetGuardian to determine whether
or not to initiate the "Call-Back" function and also if any limited access
applies.
Re-enter the password.
This is the phone number the NetGuardian uses to call back to the user's
modem.
