Set Answer Sec

No_Answ_Sec DTE_Only VF_&_DTE VF_w/_DTE

Set Answer Security. Is the primary method for enabling or disabling the dial access security function.

No Answer Security ± Disables the dial access security feature.

DTE Only ± The answering modem is enabled for security. The originating user must supply a password when prompted.

Note that a call attempt never enters data mode if the answering modem is configured for DTE_Only and the originating caller attempts to enter a password using only the VF-side password entry technique.

NOTE: In modem pooling applications where modems are connected to a multiline hunt group (rotary), all modems must have this configuration option set to the same value.

VF_&_DTE ± The answering modem is enabled for security. The modems negotiate security using the VF-side password entry technique protocol. If successful, and the Password Type for this particular VF password is set for VF_&_DTE, a password is requested from the originating user. If successful, the modems connect and can pass data.

NOTE: A call attempt fails if the answering modem is configured for VF_&_DTE and the originating caller does not first enter a VF-side password.

VF_w/_DTE ± Allows specification of related VF-Side and DTE-side password pairs. In this configuration, a DTE-side password submitted must be a valid Password Table entry, and must match the particular entry associated with the valid VF-side password that was submitted.

The passwords are associated with each other by their index in the Password Table: VF_plus_DTE passwords occupy odd-numbered index locations; their DTE_Entry counterparts occupy the even-numbered index locations that immediately follow. So, for example, if a VF-side password is entered that matches the entry in index location 11, the DTE-side password subsequently entered must match the entry in index location 12.

VF_plus_DTE passwords must be unique in a VF_w/_DTE configuration. An attached DTE in asynchronous operation is required for DTE-side password entry.

Up to 10 password pairs are permitted. On the 3811Plus modem this can be optionally increased with the Expanded Password Table feature, which permits 1500 password pairs.
