Maintaining Security Accounts 10-7

Maintaining

Once the administrative password is set and Dial Security is enabled, the

Security Accounts

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.

Reset &F settings and disbale password protection

Press the RESET button on the back of the modem when offline (same as AT&FS53=0)

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 Dial Security accounts may be configured remotely. (See Configuring Dial Configuration Security Remotely at the end of this chapter.)
