Link Lock Security Feature
Link Lock is a part of RADWIN’s security concept intended to meet a form of abuse
encountered in the field. It is designed to prevent the situation where a remote ODU
can be stolen and used as a “pirate” link to steal services or information. The Link
Lock feature actually locks the local ODU to be synchronized ONLY to specific remote
ODU. It is a
site oriented
feature.
The lock can only be set from a live link. It is based on MAC authentication and is site
oriented and activated on a per ODU basis. For example, if you lock the Site B ODU to
the Site A ODU, you must still lock the Site A ODU to the Site B ODU to ensure
complete two way locking.
Link Lock can only be removed when the link is unsynchronized. In such a case, an
alarm is raised by the RADWIN Manager.
To enable Link Lock:
1. Click Site A on the main tool bar.
2. Choose the Security tab. The following window is displayed:
