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
