SECURE RACK MODEM
6. The Password Directory
When the modem is properly configured, each inbound caller will be prompted to
enter a password before accessing the secure device. The password directory is a
listing of all valid user passwords, user names, and their associated dial back
numbers.
The modem will accept up to 100 user passwords and one system password. User
passwords allow access to the secure device connected to the Secure Rack Modem’s
serial modem port, and the system password allows access to the command mode.
As discussed in
Section 5.2
, the system password is 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 Secure Rack
Modem 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 modem’s Command mode.
In order for the modem to 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.
