A DTE-side password is entered after the modems
have trained, but before a normal connection is
established. The following example illustrates how to
enter a DTE-side password:
TYPE: abc123
PRESS: Enter
Where: abc123 is a 10-alphanumeric character
password. Characters used for DTE-side
passwords are case-insensitive. DTE-side
passwords can be from 1 to 6 characters
in length.
If a valid password is entered, then the modems
connect and data can pass.
Originate Access Password
An
Originate Access password is entered by a local
user to gain access to a local 3800 Series modem. This
password is embedded in the A
T dial command and
cannot be entered from the diagnostic control panel
(DCP).
The following example describes how to enter an
Originate Access security password:
TYPE: ATD%abc123%T9,8005551234
PRESS: Enter
Where: A
TD
is the A
T dial command.

string command interrupt characters; the

enclosed by these characters.
