Maintaining Security Accounts 10-7
Maintaining Security Accounts Once the administrative password is set and Dial Security is enabled, the
administrator is the only one who can access account information.
You can use the AT%S= and AT%E= commands to change and modify
account information.
Example: Sending AT%E=3 erases passwords for accounts 0-9.
When using the AT%S= command, the device echoes the administrative
password, which is case-sensitive. Business Modems will accept an invalid
password entry, but will lock out users from the security commands.
For example, if the password is Green, but you enter GREEN, an OK is
displayed. However, if you try to type a security command (for example,
ATI10 to view accounts), an [ACCESS DENIED] message is displayed.
Remote
Configuration Dial Security accounts may be configured remotely. (See Configuring Dial
Security Remotely at the end of this chapter.)
