4-2 Link Security
Link Security
Link Security is designed to protect networks and data centers
from unauthorized access. Unlike other security features based in
computer or network software, Link Security is based in the
modem’s firmware, so security measures are activated
before
callers
are allowed any type of access to your computer or network.
Link Security can be activated through a modem’s DTE interface
using AT commands, or through SNMP management.
♦
If you are using Total Control Manager/SNMP (TCM): Link
Security is configured through
Modem Programmed Settings
under the
Link Security Configuration
parameter group.
♦
If you are using SNMP Manager software other than TCM, the
MIB objects for Link Security can be found in the Modem MIB
under the modem Link Security group.
WARNING:
Follow the instructions in the order presented. If you
activate Link Security without the proper settings, you risk locking
yourself out of your modem.
1. Set the Local Access, Autopass, and Fallback passwords
2. Enable the options you want
3. Enable Link Security
4. Activate Link Security by saving settings to NVRAM an d
resetting the modem
