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.
