Western Telematic SRM-100 - Manual (Page 32)

7.2.4. Password on Dial Back
The Password on Dial Back option provides an additional level of security when Dial Back
numbers are used; 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 at the System
Parameters Menu, it will be applied to both System Passwords and User Passwords.
Each time the SRM is accessed via modem, a password prompt is displayed, and the caller will
then key in a User Password or System Password. If the password is recognized as valid, the
SRM will check to see if a Dial Back Number has been assigned to that password.
If a Dial Back Number has been assigned, the SRM will hang-up, and call the Dial Back
Number. If "Password on Dial Back" has been enabled, the answering party will again be
prompted to enter a password. If the System Password is entered, the answering party will be
allowed to access Command Mode. If a User Password is entered, the answering party will be
allowed to access the secure device.
Note that the password entered at the Dial Back prompt must be the same password that was
entered at the dial in prompt.
7.3. Suppressing the Confirmation Prompt
The SRM will display a confirmation prompt before executing commands such as /X
(exit/disconnect), or performing tasks such as clearing the Audit Log. The Confirmation
prompt provides one last chance to terminate a command before it is executed.
In some cases, you may wish to execute a command or perform a task without being prompted
for confirmation. To suppress the confirmation prompt, include the ",Y" argument in the SRM
command line.
Examples:
· Exit/Disconnect: To exit from Command Mode without displaying the confirmation
prompt, type /X,Y and press [Enter].
· Delete Audit Log: The Utilities menu includes a function
(item 2) which allows you to clear all logged connection attempts. If you type 2 and press
[Enter], the SRM will display a confirmation prompt before clearing connection attempts.
If you type 2,Y and press [Enter], the SRM will clear the Audit Log without displaying
the confirmation prompt.
