Chapter 8

Security

The Modem 3600 series provides three features to assure secure operation of the modem. These features are front panel password protection, auto callback, and secure mode of operation. Front panel password protection is discussed in Chapter 4.

Two levels of major security operation are available: high and low. The AT commands for each level are explained below.

IMPORTANT: Security requires that you have available your “superuser” password, explained in the “Superuser” section on page 8-6 and in the “Setting Passwords $Pn=pw$pw” section on pa ge8-8. Systems adminis- trator functions cannot be accessed without this password. If you forget the superuser password, contact Technical Support. Refer to “Calling Technical Support” section on pa ge12-2.

Autocallback Security

Autocallback is an additional security feature that is separate from Low and High Security. Autocallback forces an answering modem to dial the selected autodial (*AUn) telephone number after answering a call, holding the line for one second, and then disconnecting. When autocallback is enabled the modem will not train on a direct call. Access autocallback via Main Menu #5 on the LCD. Refer to Chapter 4 for further information. S72 enables/disables autocallback. S78 determines the delay in seconds before autocallback is initiated.
