Western Telematic SRM-100 - Manual (Page 20)

5. Console Port Communication: Defines the Baud Rate, Parity Bits, Data Bits, and Stop
Bits for the Console Port. (Default = 9600 bps, No Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit).
Note: If Console Port parameters are changed, new settings will take effect
immediately, and may effect your ability to communicate with the SRM unit. Make
certain to note newly selected parameters, and set your communications program to
match.
6. Command Echo: Enables/disables the command echo. When enabled, characters sent to
the SRM will be echoed back and shown on the display monitor. (Default = On).
7. No Activity Timeout: Selects the timeout value for both the Console Port and the
internal modem. If no data or command activity is detected during this period, the SRM
will disconnect or exit from command mode. (Default = 5 Min.).
8. Password Attempts: The number of password attempts that will be accepted when a
user attempts to access the SRM via modem. If this number is exceeded, the SRM will
disconnect and terminate the modem connection. (Default = 3).
Note: If the number of password attempts is set to zero, the User Password
requirement is disabled. In this case, if the unit is contacted via modem, the
password prompt will still be displayed, but callers will be allowed to access the
secure device by pressing [Enter] in response to the prompt. Note however, that
the SRM will continue to log access attempts, and the System Password will
continue to protect access to the Command Mode.
9. Password on Dial Back: This item adds an additional layer of security to the Dial Back
feature; when a Dial Back is performed, the SRM will prompt the answering party to
enter a password before allowing access. When this feature is enabled, it will be applied
to both User Password Dial Backs and System Password Dial Backs. Note that the
answering party must enter the same password that was entered to initiate the Dial Back.
(Default = Off).
10. Security Mode: This item can be used to disable the SRM-100’s security features.
When the Security Mode is Off, the SRM will function like a normal, unprotected
modem. Callers will be granted access to the secure device without entering a password.
(Default Determined by SetUp Switch 8, Factory Setting = On).
Notes:
• When the Security Mode is disabled, the SRM will not prompt callers to enter a
Password before allowing access to the secure device.
• If the Security Mode is disabled (off), you will not be able to access the SRM
command mode unless SetUp Switch 8 is placed in the Down position, and the
unit is then reinitialized as described in Section 4.3.
