Uploading and Downloading the SuperSecure Database
❑To ensure the integrity of your modem’s security database the sensitive fields are encrypted
with the modem’s primary key. Your password and DES KEYS are scrambled but will be
restored when uploaded into a modem with the same primary key.
❑You may delete unwanted records and modify the unencrypted fields, but the encrypted
fields must not be touched.
❑If you wish to enter a new user, you may do so using the same format as the other records.
The three digit control field at the start of each record should be set to the following values
for a new user:
000 Not SuperSecure User, no DES keys specified (use for dialback)
001 DES keys specified
003 DES keys specified, Supervisor Status
005 DES keys specified, No password expiry
007 DES keys specified, No password expiry and Supervisor Status
