In order to prevent unauthorized access, the RFL 9660
features three different levels of security and an
access alarm output. In the first level of security, each
device port can be protected with a password. The
second level adds a log-on password that must be used
when the switch is first called. The third level has a
callback feature that causes the RFL 9660 to call the
user back at a preset telephone location before
access is allowed.
Any installation where isolation from ground
potential rise is important.
Any installation where ambient noise levels
are high.
Any installation where it is difficult to run
RS-232 cables.
Any installation where distances greater than those
recommended by RS-232 must be covered.
Passwords are assigned by a designated "super-user."
Any time the RFL 9660 is accessed (either remotely
or locally), an access alarm relay contact
will close. The RFL 9660 is available with a built-in 28.8 bps
