5.5.1.6. The Dial Back Function

The Dial Back Function provides an additional layer of security when callers attempt to access command mode via modem. When this function is properly configured, callers will not be granted immediate access to command mode upon entering a valid password; instead, the unit will disconnect, and dial a user-defined number before allowing access via that number. If desired, users may also be required to re-enter the password after the CMS-6R4 dials back.

Note that a separate Dial Back Number can be defined for each password, and the feature may also be independently enabled for each password. To enable this function, proceed as follows:

1.Access command mode using a port and password that permit access to Supervisor Mode, and then access the System Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.5.1.

2.System Parameters Menu: Note that dial back parameters selected via this menu are global, and will apply to all passwords. Define the following parameters:

•Password on Dial Back: (Optional) Determines whether or not the Dial Back Mode will require the answering party to re-enter their password after a Dial Back is performed.

•Dial Back Attempts: The number of times the CMS-6R4 will attempt to call the dial back number.

•Dial Back Delay: The amount of time the CMS-6R4 will wait between Dial Back attempts.

3.Edit Password Directory: Access the Password Directory menu as described in Section 5.5.1.1. From this menu, you may either define new passwords that use the Dial Back Function, or alter existing passwords to include the Dial Back Function. The following parameters should be defined for each password that will use the Dial Back function:

•Dial Back #: The number that will be called when a Dial Back is performed. This is the number for the password owner’s modem.

•Dial Back Mode: Enables/Disables the Dial Back function for this password. When enabled, this password will require a dial back to be performed before allowing access, whenever this password user attempts to access the unit via modem.

Note: In order for new parameters to be saved, you must either Save the Password (Text Interface) or apply the password (Web Browser Interface) before leaving the menu.
