DIAL SECURITY

	This chapter contains information about:
	■ Setting up Dial Security
	■	Maintaining security accounts
	■ What the guest user needs to do
	■ Configuring dial security remotely
Overview	Dial Security is designed to protect networks and data centers from
	unauthorized access.
	You should be familiar with these terms before you continue:
	Local		The device that is directly connected to the computer
			you are using.
	Remote		The device at the other end of a telephone connection.
	Host		The Business Modem that will be accessed and
			controlled by other devices.
	Guest		The device that will access and control the host
			Business Modem.
	You can configure up to 10 accounts: one administrative account for you
	and nine accounts for guest users. The account profiles are stored in the
	host Business Modem’s nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM).
	There are two forms of Dial Security; each will be explained later in this
	chapter:
	■	Autopass
	■	Password Prompting
