To list all user names, and commands.
• Select option 1 from the Security Menu <E>
Your modem will list the user names. Passwords are never displayed.
FYour computer must be capable of displaying at least 80 characters
per line for the user list to be displayed in its correct format.
The Access Record
Selecting option 4 and option 5 from the Security Menu allows you to
view and change the access records. Your modem keeps a tally of the
number of successful (granted) and unsuccessful (denied) attempts to
connect to your modem using each user name.
Your modem allows every caller three attempts to enter the correct user
name and password. If the caller cannot correctly enter the password,
a record is made by your modem that an unsuccessful attempt has been
made to use that particular user name.
If the number of unsuccessful calls for any user name reaches 255, that
user name will be locked and callers will no longer be able to use it, even
if the correct password is used. You will not be able to use that particular
user name until the access record for all users has been reset.
If, however, the caller does correctly enter the password, your modem
records that a successful attempt was made to connect with that user
name.
You should regularly check the number of successful and unsuccessful
attempts to connect to your modem.
• Select option 4 to view the access record <E>
An unusually high number of unsuccessful attempts to connect with a
particular user name may indicate someone is trying to violate your
modem’s security.
