7.1. SRM Operating Modes

The SRM-100 provides three separate operating modes; the User Mode, the Command Mode, and the Unsecured Mode.

7.1.1. User Mode

The User Mode is activated when a caller enters a User Password at the login prompt. The User Mode only allows the caller to access the secure device which is connected to the serial modem port. The User Mode does not allow access to configuration menus or the Password Directory.

7.1.2. Command Mode

The Command Mode is activated when a caller enters the System Password at the login prompt, or when a local user enters the SRM Command Mode via the Console Port. The Command Mode allows access to all SRM-100 configuration menus, and is used to define passwords and select operating parameters as described in Sections 5 and 6 of this User's Guide.

7.1.3. Unsecured Mode

When the Unsecured Mode is active, the SRM will function like a normal, unsecured modem. Callers will be allowed to access the secure device without entering a password. The Unsecured Mode is activated by placing SetUp Switch 8 in the Up position (see Section 4.3.7), or by accessing the General Parameters Menu (see Section 5.2) and disabling the Security Mode. Note that when the Unsecured mode is active, you will not be able to access the Command Mode via modem; you will only be able to access the SRM Command Mode via the console port.

In order to return to password-protected operation, you must either access the Command Mode via the Console Port, and then use the General Parameters Menu to enable the Security Mode, or enable the Security Mode by placing SetUp Switch 8 in the Down position, and then reinitialize the SRM unit as described in Section 4.4.

7.2. Password Functions

The SRM-100 features three different types of passwords; the System Password, the Console Port Password, and the User Passwords. The System Password allows system administrators to invoke configuration commands and review connection activity. The Console Port Password allows access to the SRM Command Mode via the Console Port. The User Passwords allow callers to access the secure device that is connected to the SRM's serial Modem Port .
