6.The Password Directory
When the SRM-100 is properly configured, each inbound caller will be prompted to enter a password before being allowed to access the secure device. The Password Directory is basically a listing of all valid user passwords, user names, and their associated Dial Back numbers.
The SRM-100 will accept up to 100 User Passwords, one System Password, and one Console Port Password. User passwords allow access to the secure device connected to the SRM-100 serial Modem Port, the System Password allows access to the SRM Command Mode via Modem or Console Port, and the Console Port Password allows access to the Command Mode via the Console Port only. As discussed in Section 5.2, the System Password and Console Port Password are defined via the General Parameters Menu. The procedure for defining User Passwords is described in this chapter.
To add passwords to the directory or edit existing User Passwords, make certain the command mode is active, then type /E and press [Enter]. The SRM-100 will display the Edit Password Directory Menu shown in Figure 6.1. This menu offers three options; Add Name/Password, Edit/Delete from List, and Edit/Delete from Search.
After defining the Password Directory, you may wish to review its contents. Section 6.4 describes the procedure for displaying the Password Directory and explains the directory screen.
Notes:
•User Passwords do not allow access to the SRM Command Mode.
•In order protect access to the secure device, the Security Mode must be enabled (see Section 5.2) and at least one User Password must be defined.
