Set Answer Sec
No_Answ_Sec DTE_Only VF_&_DTE
Set Answer Security. Is the primary method for enabling or disabling the dial access security function.
No Answer Security – Disables the dial access security feature.
DTE Only – The answering modem is enabled for security. The originating user must supply a password when
prompted.
NOTE: A call attempt never enters data mode if the answering modem is configured for DTE_Only and the originating
caller attempts to enter a password using only the VF-side password entry technique.
NOTE: In modem pooling applications where modems are connected to a multiline hunt group (rotary), all modems
must have this configuration option set to the same value.
VF & DTE – The answering modem is enabled for security. The modems negotiate security using the VF-side password
entry technique protocol. If successful, and the Password Type for this particular VF password is set for VF_&_DTE, a
password is requested from the originating user. If successful, the modems connect and can pass data.
NOTE: A call attempt fails if the answering modem is configured for VF_&_DTE and the originating caller does not first
enter a VF-side password.
