6.1 Add Name/Password
To add new user passwords and names to the password directory, go to the Edit
Password Directory menu (
/E
), type
1
(
Add Name/Password
) and press
[Enter]
.
The modem will display a submenu that contains the following items:
1. Name: This item assigns a name to each user password. The modem will not
prompt callers to enter the user name in order to log in. This name is used
only for internal accounting purposes and to associate each password with a
specific client or employee. (Up to 16 characters.)
NOTE
The modem will not accept duplicate user names or passwords. The
unit will display an error message if you attempt to define a name or
password that is already in use.
2. Password: This item assigns a password for each user. When a caller attempts
to log on to the modem, he must enter a valid user password (case-sensitive,
up to 16 characters) in order to access the secure device.
3. Dial back number: This item can assign a dial back number to each user
password. If the dial back number is not defined, a caller who accesses the
Secure Rack Modem with this user password will be granted immediate access
to the secure device. If the dial back number is defined, when a caller enters
this user password, the Secure Rack Modem will disconnect, call the assigned
dial back number, and then allow the answering party to access to the secure
device (up to 32 characters.)
NOTES
The modem can be configured to perform a dial back for some user
passwords, while providing immediate access to other user passwords.
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.
If the initial call is not successful, the modem will repeat the dial back
procedure as specified by item 12 (dial back attempts) and item 13 (dial
back delay) in the General Parameters menu (see Section 5.2).
4. Save entry: This item stores the password, name, and dial back number in the
password directory. If you are satisfied with the data entered at prompts 1
through 3, type
4
and press
[Enter]
to save this information in non-volatile
memory.
