Security Configuration Options

*EntryWait_Time: 20 sec

Nxt 20 sec 10 sec 40 sec 60 sec

Entry Wait Timeout. Determines how long the answering modem waits for the originating modem to enter a VF-side password and DTE-side password.

This timer resets for each phase of access security. For example, if a VF-side password and a DTE-side password are required, then the user has 20 seconds per entry to input the correct password.

The factory default is 20 seconds.

VF_Prompt_Type: 2nd_DialTone

Nxt 2nd_DialTone Quiet_Answer

VF Prompt Type. Determines how the answering modem requests a valid password from the originating modem for the valid password. This configuration option is only used for VF-side password entry and is not valid for DTE-side password entry.

NOTE: This configuration option only appears if the Answer Security Mode configuration option is configured for VF_&_DTE.

2nd Dial Tone ± Once the answering modem is off-hook, it generates a dial tone to the originating modem as a prompt for that modem's VF-side password. (Wait for Second Dial Tone is represented by a W in the dial command string.)

Quiet Answer ± Once the answering modem is off-hook, it does not send an answer tone to the originating modem. The originating modem enters its VF-side password after detecting a ring back signal followed by five seconds of silence. For this to work correctly, the Auto Answer Ring # configuration option in the answering modem must be set to 2 rings or greater. (Wait for Quiet Answer is represented by an @ in the dial command string.)

The factory default is 2nd_DialTone.

*#DTE_PW_Tries: 1 Nxt 1 2 3 4 5

Number of DTE Password Tries. Determines the number of attempts an originating user has to enter a valid DTE-side password. If the password entered does not match a value in the answering modem's Password Table, then the modem will issue the password prompt again (provided that the number of tries is set to a value greater than 1). This will continue until the correct password is entered by the originating user or the number of tries allowed is met.

The factory default is 1.

*DTE_PW_TermChar: 013 Nxt " 013

DTE Password Termination Character. Allows you to change the ASCII character used to indicate the end of a password or User ID entered by an originating user. This character can be set to any ASCII value from 0 to 127.

The factory default is 13 (ASCII carriage return).

*This configuration option does not appear if the Answer Security Mode configuration option is configured for No Answer Security.
