Black Box 3600 MODEM manual Security Levels

Security

Operating without High Security

The modem is factory set with security disabled. In this mode the local DTE is connected to the local modem as usual, but the command to enable or view the status of the security feature will be accepted and processed.

Operating with High Security

With high security enabled, each user must follow the appropriate logon procedure. The procedure for remote users is determined by their assigned security level. Upon termination of the connection, the secured modem waits for the next call and password sequence. A local user must logon to the secured Modem 3600 to use the unit.

If a power outage occurs, the logged -on user must logon again when the power is restored. For optimum security operation a reliable connection should be used.

Security Levels

The Modem 3600 provides three levels of security to prevent unauthorized access by a remote user.

Level 1: Password Only

This is the lowest level of dial-up security. The user dialing in is prompted for an ID and password; if invalid, the modem hangs up.

Level 2: Password with Callback

This security level also accepts only calls from preset telephone numbers. After the user enters a correct ID and password, the modem looks up the telephone number and calls the user back at that number.

Level 3: Password with Callback and Password Re- Entry

This is the highest level of security and is similar to Password with Callback except that after the user answers the callback call, the modem prompts again for the password.
