This chapter describes special features of the U-90E, and offers instructions on how to
use them.
10.1 Security Functions
Your modem provides a security function that prevents unauthorized users from making
connections. Two types of
security functions
are provided.
•
Type 1 security is used when the remote modem is also a ZyXEL modem.
•
Type 2 security is used when the remote modem is a modem of another brand.
In the
type 1
connection, the dial-in remote modem will send its supervisor password for
checking at the initial connection, and the local modem will check this password against
its pre-stored acceptable password list.
In the
type 2
connection, the remote terminal will be prompted to enter the password at
the initial connection and the local modem will do the password checking.
10.1.1 Levels of Security
Two levels of security are provided:
•
With
level 1 security,
the local modem will maintain the connection if the password is
OK, otherwise the line will be disconnected.
•
With
level 2 security,
the local modem will dial back the phone number corresponding
to the dial-in password. The line will simply disconnect if the password does not
match.
