Security Configuration Options
EntryWait_Time: 20 sec
Nxt 20 sec 10 sec 40 sec 60 sec
Entry Wait Timeout. Determines how long the answering modem waits for the originating modem to enter a VF-side
password and DTE-side password.
This timer resets for each phase of access security. For example, if a VF-side password and a DTE-side password
are required, then the user has 20 seconds per entry to provide the correct password.
The factory default is 20 seconds.
VF_Prompt_Type: 2nd_DialTone
Nxt 2nd_DialTone Quiet_Answer
VF Prompt Type. Determines how the answering modem requests a valid password from the originating modem for
the valid password. This configuration option is only used for VF-side password entry and is not valid for DTE-side
password entry.
NOTE: This configuration option only appears if the Answer Security Mode configuration option is configured for
VF_&_DTE or VF_w/_DTE.
2nd Dial Tone – Once the answering modem is off-hook, it generates a dial tone to the originating modem as a
prompt for that modem’s VF-side password. (Wait for Second Dial Tone is represented by a W in the dial command
string.)
Quiet Answer – Once the answering modem is off-hook, it does not send an answer tone to the originating modem.
The originating modem enters its VF-side password after detecting a ring back signal followed by five seconds of
silence. For this to work correctly, the Auto Answer Ring # configuration option in the answering modem must be set
to 2 rings or greater. (Wait for Quiet Answer is represented by an @ in the dial command string.)
The factory default is 2nd_DialTone.
#DTE_PW_Tries: 1
Nxt12345
Number of DTE Password Tries. Determines the number of attempts an originating user has to enter a valid
DTE-side password. If the password entered does not match a value in the answering modem’s Password Table,
then the modem will issue the password prompt again (provided that the number of tries is set to a value greater
than 1). This will continue until the correct password is entered by the originating user or the number of tries allowed
is met.
The factory default is 1.
