The Security Configuration Options group allows you to view and set dial access security
parameters. This group is located in the Configuration branch of the Top-Level menu.

Table 12-4 shows each Security configuration option as it appears on the LCD. The factory default
value is shown after the colon ( : ) on the first line; all available selections are listed on the second
line. Following this is a description of the configuration option. These configuration options do not
have an equivalent AT command.

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.

NOTE: 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 input the correct
password.

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.

H

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. (Second dial tone is represented by a W in the dial
command string.)

H

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. (Quiet answer is represented by an @ in
the dial command string.)

#DTE_PW_Tries:  1
Nxt   1   2   3   4   5

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.
