Set Orig Secur
Set Originate Security controls whether or not the
modem can originate a call using AT commands when the
dial access security feature is installed. This method of
outbound security only applies to modems originating a
call.
To access Set_Orig_Secur from Set Access Ctrl, press
the
key until Set_Orig_Secur appears. Select
Set_Orig_Secur.
Table 7-3 describes the settings of the Set Originate
Security option.
Set CallBack Sec
For an extra level of security, a modem can be directed
to call back to a dial-in user after the modem validates the
DTE password. The user, prompted for the callback
number, supplies this either as a complete phone number
or as a directory number.
Table 7-4 describes the settings of the Set Callback
Security option.
Table 7-3
Set Originate Security Group Option
Set Orig Secur: No_OrigSec
No_OrigSec EnaOrigSec
Set Originate Security. Controls the security protection for origination of calls when AT commands are used.
The originate password must be included in all AT dial command strings if this configuration option is enabled. If not
included, or incorrectly entered, the message ERROR is returned to the DTE. The Originate Security password must be
defined as a DTE_Entry password type.
No Originate Security – Disables originate security so that a modem can originate a call using AT commands.
Enable Originate Security – When using AT commands, the modem will only place a call if a valid password is entered
along with an AT dial command. If the password is not entered, then ERROR is returned to the DTE, and the dial
command is canceled.
