COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS
APPENDIX D. DIAL SECURITY AND
REMOTE ACCESS OPERATIONS
Dial Security is designed to protect networks and data centers from unauthorized access. The kind of security provided by the Courier modem is different from other kinds of dial security where software is used by the computer to control user access. The Courier’s Dial Security is set up in the modem’s firmware, so access is controlled from modem to modem.
Setting up this kind of security requires action at both the host and remote modem sites. This appendix contains instructions for both operations.
WARNINGS:
If you want to set up Security on your Courier modem, you must complete the steps below in the order listed:
1.Set up your own security account:
∙Set up your local access password
∙Enable local access password protection
2.Set up remote user accounts.
3.Enable Dial Security.
You must set up your local access security information before enabling Dial Security and allowing remote calls, as outlined under Set Up Your Security Account in what follows.
Be sure to remember your local access password; if you enable security and forget your local access password, you risk being locked out of your system.
