CHAPTER 5: Setup and Configuration
NOTE
The System Password is case-sensitive. (It can be up to 16 characters,
and the default is SUPER).
2. System Dial Back #: When defined, the modem will dial this number before
allowing modem access to the Command mode. When a caller contacts the
modem, it sends a password prompt. If the caller enters the valid system
password, the modem will disconnect and then call the system dial back
number. When the system dial back number answers, the Modem Command
mode will start (up to 32 characters; default is “undefined”).
NOTE
While a dial back operation is in progress, the modem is not able to
accept incoming calls, and will not recognize commands entered via the
console port.
3. Site ID: Defines a text string which can be used to identify the location where
the modem is installed. The site ID message will be displayed at the top of the
modem’s Help screen (up to 32 characters; default is “undefined”).
4. Real Time Clock: Sets the Secure Rack Modem’s internal real time clock and
calendar. The modem uses the real-time clock to record times and dates
when logging connection activity. Enter the correct time using 24-hour
(military) format.
5. Console Port Communication: Defines the baud rate, parity bits, data bits,
and stop bits for the console port (default is 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit).
NOTE
If you change the console port parameters, new settings will take effect
immediately, and may affect your ability to communicate with the
modem. Make certain to note newly selected parameters, and set your
communications program to match.
6. Command Echo: Enables/disables the command echo. When enabled,
characters sent to the modem will be echoed back and shown on the display
monitor (default is ON).
7. No Activity Timeout: Selects the timeout value for both the console port and
the internal modem. If no data or command activity is detected during this
period, the modem will disconnect or exit from Command mode (default is
5 min.).
