Security

Setting Passwords $Pn=pw$pw

Select a password between 4 and 34 printable ASCII characters.

To store the password enter

AT$Pn=pw$pw

where n is the user number (0-50) and pw is the new password which is entered twice to ensure that is has been entered correctly.

The $ character is used as the marker between the dual password entries and cannot be used as part of the password.

Passwords cannot be recalled from nonvolatile memory.

Note

The superuser password is critical because the security feature cannot be configured without it.

After logon as USER 1 and gaining superuser privileges, enter the $Pn command to modify passwords.

For the superuser enter

AT$P0=pw$pw

For user 1 enter:

AT$P1=pw$pw

Record the passwords in your personal records.

IMPORTANT: Systems administrator functions cannot be accessed without it. If you forget the superuser password, contact Technical Support. Refer to the “Calling Technical Support” section on page 12-2.

Set Security Levels $Ln=m

The System Administrator (superuser) assigns each user with a security level by entering the $Ln=m command where n is the user number and m is the security level.

Set User Callback Number $Cn=m

The callback number, used with level 2 or 3 security, is dialed by the modem after a user has successfully called in from a remote location and entered his password.
