HDTE Only
The answering modem is enabled for security. The originating user must supply a password when
prompted.
NOTE: A call attempt never enters data mode if the answering modem is configured for DTE_Only and the
originating caller attempts to enter a password using only the VF-side password entry technique.
NOTE: In modem pooling applications where modems are connected to a multiline hunt group (rotary), all
modems must have this configuration option set to the same value.
HVF & DTE
The answering modem is enabled for security. The modems negotiate security using the VF-side
password entry technique protocol. If successful, and the Password Type for this particular VF
password is set for VF_&_DTE, a password is requested from the originating user. If successful, the
modems connect and can pass data.
NOTE: A call attempt fails if the answering modem is configured for VF_&_DTE and the originating caller
does not first enter a VF-side password.
