CHAPTER 7: Callback Security and Remote Configuration

Failed Password Attempts (S26)

S26 counts the number of times there has been a failed password attempt. For example, if you entered ATS26? and the message 003 were displayed, that would mean someone had failed three times to gain access to your modem using its password security system.

Units:

Failed attempts

Range:

0-255

Default:

0

Local Inactivity Timer (S29)

S29 defines the amount of idle time that can elapse between AT com- mands after the SETUP password has been entered. If this timer expires, the LOGIN and SETUP passwords will have to be re-entered.

S29 only takes effect when the modem has been sent a #DB1 command, which secures the modem from local and remote configuration or dialing (i.e., no AT commands can be sent until the LOGIN and SETUP passwords have been entered).

Units: Minutes

Range: 1-255

Default: 20
