defined via the General Parameters menu (
/G
), and the user dial back numbers
are defined via the Edit Password Directory menu (
/E
).
NOTE
When user dial back numbers are defined, the modem can be
configured to perform a dial back for some user passwords, while
granting immediate access to other user passwords. If the dial back
number is not defined for a given password, then a dial back will not be
performed when that password is entered at the login prompt.
NOTES
Callers will receive a busy signal while the dial back operation is in
progress.
If the initial call is not successful, the modem will repeat the dial back
procedure as specified by item 12 (dial back attempts) and item 13 (dial
back delay) in the General Parameters menu (see Section 5.2).

The password on dial back option provides an additional level of security when dial
back numbers are used. When a dial back is performed, the modem will prompt
the answering party to enter a password before allowing access. When you enable
this feature at the System Parameters menu, it will be applied to both system
passwords and user passwords.
Each time the modem is accessed via modem, a password prompt is displayed, and
the caller will then key in a user password or system password. If the password is
recognized as valid, the modem will check to see if a dial back number has been
assigned to that password.
If a dial back number has been assigned, the modem will hang up and call the dial
back number. If “password on dial back” has been enabled, the answering party
will again be prompted to enter a password. If the system password is entered, the
answering party will be allowed to access Command mode. If a user password is
entered, the answering party will be allowed to access the secure device.
NOTE
The password entered at the dial back prompt must be the same
password that was entered at the dial in prompt.
7.3 Suppressing the Confirmation Prompt
The modem will display a confirmation prompt before executing commands such
as
/X
(
Exit/Disconnect
