Motorola V.3600 manual Local Operation, Passwords, LCD Indication of Security

Security

After receiving the $, the secure remote modem accepts the security code and waits for a carriage return. Entering more than ten characters is invalid and causes the secure modem to disconnect. Entering a valid password causes the calling party’s DTE to display PASSWORD

ACCEPTED.

Local Operation

When accessing the local modem, the password is not required except when the user wants to change a security option. To change a password or to turn security on or off, the user must enter a password when entering the appropriate AT commands. EIA-232 signals to the DTE are not affected by security in command mode.

Passwords

Two passwords of up to ten characters each can be stored in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. AT commands change the passwords. Backspace and escape keys are not supported for password entry. The passwords can consist of any printable characters except a dollar sign, comma, or space. Passwords are case sensitive.

The passwords have the same priority level and are interchangeable with each other. This can be helpful in situations such as when the user forgets one of the passwords.

LCD Indication of Security

The front panel LCD indicates whether security is on or off. If disabled, the LCD appears as if the security does not exist. If enabled, Main Menu #1 consists of the following display:

SECURE 33600

XXXX

Restrictions in Security Operation

If the caller gives the wrong password, while security is enabled, the modem will disconnect.
