Decide which Dial Security option to use
You can choose from the two types of Dial Security: Autopass and Password Prompting.
Autopass
Autopass is the default form of password protection. Autopass automates the process of logging
in to the host modem, but it requires the guest and host devices to be U.S. Robotics Courier
modems.
When a guest device attempts an Autopass connection, the guest includes the password in its
V.42 error-control request. The host modem checks all the enabled passwords in its security
accounts for a match.
Password Prompting
Password Prompting allows connections with any guest device, as long as the guest user knows
the correct password.
When the host has Password Prompting enabled, it asks guest users for a password. The host
modem checks the received password against each of its act ive Security accounts.
