Overview

NOTE

This chapter supports the operation of dial access security for COMSPHERE 3800Plus modems. This chapter is self-supporting and can be removed to prevent unwanted knowledge of dial access security operation.

Although the security functions described in this chapter are designed to prevent unwanted user access to your network, the company recognizes that no security system is infallible.

Dial Access Security is an optional feature that allows you to control who has access to your 3800Plus modem and ultimately your host DTE.

To take advantage of this security feature, you must create a database of passwords which are stored in the modem's nonvolatile memory. The 3800Plus modems can store a maximum of 20 passwords. (A 3811Plus with the optional Password Expansion Feature can store up to

3000 passwords.) Each password is assigned a series of parameters that determine the type of security protocol applied to it. This protocol is established in the Security branch of the Top-Level menu. Control of security functions is established in the Security Configuration Options group which is located in the Configure branch of the Top-Level menu. These areas are described in the Security Branch section of this chapter and the Security Configuration Options section of Chapter 8.

The 3800Plus modem uses an outbound and inbound method of security known respectively as Originate Access and Answer Access security. Both methods of security require some type of password entry whether it be included as part of an AT command dial string or entered directly from a remote user's DTE.
