COMSPHERE 3800 Series Modems

A DTE-side password is entered after the modems have trained, but before a normal connection is established. The following example illustrates how to enter a DTE-side password:

TYPE: abc123

PRESS: Enter

Where: abc123 is a 10-alphanumeric character password. Characters used for DTE-side passwords are case-insensitive. DTE-side passwords can be from 1 to 6 characters in length.

If a valid password is entered, then the modems connect and data can pass.

Originate Access Password

An Originate Access password is entered by a local user to gain access to a local 3800 Series modem. This password is embedded in the AT dial command and cannot be entered from the diagnostic control panel (DCP).

The following example describes how to enter an Originate Access security password:

TYPE: ATD%abc123%T9,8005551234

PRESS: Enter

Where: ATD is the AT dial command.

Percent (%) is the start and stop dial string command interrupt characters; the Originate Access password must be enclosed by these characters.

abc123 is the 10-alphanumeric character Originate Access password.

T is the Tone (DTMF) dial modifier.

Comma (,) is a pause dial parameter.

98005551234 is the phone number.

Database Table Examples

The following examples illustrate possible database tables in which the password type is configured for VF Entry, DTE Entry or a combination of VF, DTE, and VF plus DTE Entry. These tables are shown for illustrative purposes only. Passwords shown are not representative of good password selections.

NOTE

The Assigned to column is not stored in the modem.

Table 12-4 is an example of a database table with passwords configured for VF Entry only. This type of password is entered within the AT command dial string.
