Signaling Security (Access Control) Commands

This part lists and describes the CLI commands of the Avaya M770 ATM switch's Signaling Security (Access Control) feature. The purpose of the Signaling Security feature is to filter out calls during the setup phase at the signaling level. The filtering is based on the source/destination ATM addresses present in the call setup. The rules by which calls are screened are based on creating a Template that defines the addresses mask and the rule (permit/deny) and creating filters that assign templates to vports.

The calls screening procedure is as follows:
