DBM Configuration Options

Call Setup:None

Next None Pswrd Cllbk Alarm Prev

Dial Backup Call Setup (only displayed when Full Mode is enabled). Establishes the level of security for call setup attempts. This configuration option prevents an invalid call from causing the DSU to switch data to the DBM.

None

Ð

Select for outgoing calls when no security is needed. If a Model 3550 or 3551 DBM calls, the unit

 

 

automatically switches to Dial Backup mode. If a non-Model 3550 or 3551 DBM calls, the unit remains in

 

 

Standby mode for 15 seconds before switching to Dial Backup mode.

Pswrd

Ð

Select when both the originating and answering DBMs must exchange valid passwords to establish a call.

 

 

This is an intermediate security level. Both devices must be either Model 3550 or 3551 DSUs and DBMs.

Cllbk

Ð

Select when you want the highest level of security. When this security level is set, the originating and

 

 

answering DBMs exchange passwords, then disconnect. The answering DBM then calls the originating

 

 

DBM back and there is a second exchange of passwords. Both devices must be either Model 3550 or

 

 

3551 DSUs and DBMs.

Alarm

Ð

Select when the DBM is to answer incoming calls only after the DSU reports a Facility Alarm. No security

 

 

checking is performed. (This feature is provided for customers that provide data services to other

 

 

customers that may not have Model 3550 or 3551 DSUs and DBMs.)
