The Access Security Gateway consists of two components:
~Access Security Gateway Guard
The Access Security Gateway Guard protects the DEFINITY ProLogix system from unauthorized access. When users attempt to access the ProLogix system remotely, the Access Security Gateway Guard prompts the users to enter their login ID and then issues a challenge. Using the Access Security Gateway Key, authorized users are able to provide the correct response to the challenge issued by the DEFINITY ProLogix system. The challenge issued by the DEFINITY ProLogix system and the response that the system expects are constantly changed, helping to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the DEFINITY ProLogix system.
~Access Security Gateway Key

When the Access Security Gateway issues a challenge, users must enter the challenge into the Access Security Gateway Key to receive the correct response to the challenge. The users then enter the response to the Access Security Gateway Guard to access the system.
