Security Branch

The Security branch of the Top-Level menu allows you

to change and save parameters that are critical to the dial
access security password database. This database is a
collection of passwords and their associated parameters
that determine how the modems control password access.
Most of the functions within this branch are protected by
an Administrative Password. Once the correct password is
entered, these security functions appear on the modem’s
LCD. The two major functions that appear under the
Security branch are Set Access Control and Reset
Security.

Set Access Ctrl

Set Access Control allows you to change security

configuration. This function is protected by an
Administrative Password. The Reset Security function
allows you to reset the Administrative Password, but
results in erasure of the modem’s security database.

To access Security from the Top-Level menu, make the

following selections:

F1

Idle : 28.8
Control Security

F2

F3

Press the

key until Security appears. Select

Security.

Set Access Control allows you to configure critical

parameters contained within the security database table
that control dial access security. These parameters are
protected by an Administrative Password, which is an
8-digit decimal number.

Set Access Control contains the Edit Password Table,

Set Answer Security, Set Originate Security, and Set
Administrative Password security configuration groups.
These groups do not appear on the LCD until the correct
Administrative Password is entered.

Administrative Password

The Administrative Password is an 8-digit decimal

number password that allows only authorized users to
access Security branch functionality. This password must
be entered every time you access the Security branch.
This feature is shipped from the factory with the
Administrative Password set to 00000000.

Once the correct Administrative Password is entered,

the Edit Password Table, Set Answer Security, Set
Originate Security, and Set Administrative Password
groups can be displayed on the LCD.
