For added security, the ACS console server plug-in may also be configured for dial-back connections. Once authenticated, the dial-up connection will be dropped, and the ACS console server will dial-back to the DSView 3 server to establish a secure connection. This method does not support OTP. To configure dial-back settings on the DSView 3 server, see DSView 3 software modem sessions on page 67.

Only DSView 3 software administrators may access the Active Modem Sessions window.
