Remote Port Security Device
•
The Remote Port Security Device is a single-line dial-up port protection system
that prevents unauthorized access to a host resource. Host resource dial-up ports
are protected by installing the Remote Port Security Device Lock on the analog
telephone line leading to the port. Access is provided only when the calling party
uses the Remote Port Security Device Key, a unit that is installed on the analog
telephone line at the calling party end.
The Remote Port Security Device works with all data communications protocols
and can be used in the following applications:
protecting organizations with remote and home offices that communicate over
~
the public telephone network via dial-up lines
safeguarding companies that administer their communication and voice
~
processing systems remotely from their office headquarters, helping to ensure
that critical network routing information, traffic data, and PBX feature
translations are not compromised
~ controlling dial-up access by suppliers that provide remote maintenance
services ensuring that only the service provider has access to the maintenance
ports
