Western Telematic SRM-100 Network Card User Manual


 
9. Password Attempts: The number of password attempts that will be accepted when a
user attempts to access the SRM via modem. If this number is exceeded, the SRM will
terminate the modem connection. (Default = 3).
Note: If the number of password attempts is set to zero, the User Password
requirement is disabled. In this case, if the unit is contacted via modem, the
password prompt will still be displayed, but callers will be allowed to access the
secure device by pressing [Enter] in response to the prompt. Note however, that
the SRM will continue to log access attempts, and the System Password will
continue to protect access to the Command Mode.
10. Password on Dial Back: This item adds an additional layer of security to the Dial Back
feature; when a Dial Back is performed, the SRM will prompt the answering party to
enter a password before allowing access. When this feature is enabled, it will be applied
to both User Password Dial Backs and System Password Dial Backs. Note that the
answering party must enter the same password that was entered to initiate the Dial Back.
(Default = Off).
11. Security Mode: This item can be used to disable the SRM-100’s security features.
When the Security Mode is Off, the SRM will function like a normal, unsecured modem.
Callers will be granted access to the secure device without entering a password. (Default
Determined by SetUp Switch 8, Factory Setting = On).
Notes:
When the Security Mode is disabled, the SRM will not prompt callers to enter a
Password before allowing access to the secure device.
If the Security Mode is disabled (off), you will not be able to access the SRM
command mode via modem, and the command mode will only be accessible via
the Console Port using the System Password or Console Port Password.
12. Audit Log Options: This item determines which type of calls will be recorded in the
SRM’s Audit Log. The SRM can log all connection attempts, only successful attempts, or
only unsuccessful attempts. This log will list the user name, password entered, duration
of the call, and exit status. Section 7.5 describes the Audit Log screen.
(Default = All).
13. Dial Back Attempts: This item determines how many times the SRM will attempt to
contact the Dial Back Number if the initial call is not successful. (Default = 1).
14. Dial Back Delay: Determines how much time will elapse between each Dial Back
Attempt. (Default = 30 Seconds).
When you have finished selecting parameters from the General Parameters menu, press [Esc] to
return to the main Help Screen. Menu selected parameters will be stored in the SRM’s non-
volatile memory.
