BOCA PRO16 Reference Guide
Symmetrical Operation
qEither modem can originate the call
qRemote modem’s password is first.
qLocal modem’s password is second
Automatic Synchronization
qThe keys only change after a successful connection is achieved at
both ends.
qIf either modem drops out during the security handshake before the
CONNECT message, the modems will automatically resynchronize
on the next connection.
Password Expiration Option
You may specify the number of days you have before the password must
be changed. By default this option is OFF, to enable it select the C option
from the security menu. You will then be prompted for the number of
days before a password expires (1-255 days). The access record (Option
4) displays the password age limit and the age of each user’s password.
qWhen a password is within 5 days of expiration, a message will be
given before the connect message.
qAfter the password has expired, you will be informed and will not be
allowed another connection until a new password is entered. The
access record also notes if you have been informed of the expiration.
qEither the remote or the local password or both may expire.
FThere is no real time clock inside the modem. When the modem is
turned off the clock stops. Therefore the expiration timers actually
time the number of days that the modem is turned on and not elapsed
days
Entering a Password in the Remote Modem’s Database
When connected in SuperSecure, you may change your password.
