Overview - Paradyne COMSPHERE 3920Plus Technical Reference Manual

Overview

In Singleport mode, Dial Access Security is a feature that allows you to control who has access to
your COMSPHERE 392xPlus modem and ultimately your host DTE.
To take advantage of this security feature, you must create a database of passwords which are
stored in the modem's nonvolatile memory. The Model 3920Plus modem stores a maximum of
20 passwords while the Model 3921Plus modem stores up to 3000 passwords. Control of security
functions is established in the Security Configuration Options group which is located in the
Configuration branch of the Top-Level menu. These areas are described in the
Security Configuration Options
