Security Types and Levels

The Model XM128 modem provides the following types of security:

•Type 1 security is used when the remote modem is a NETGEAR modem.

•Type 2 security is used when the remote modem is a non-NETGEAR device.

With a Type 1 connection, the dial-in (remote) modem sends in its supervisor password for matching with the prestored password list of the local modem. With a Type 2 connection, the remote terminal is prompted to enter the password at the initial connection. The local Model XM128 modem matches the entered password with the prestored password list.
