*wcb – callback security
The callback functionality makes the established link more secure. After an incoming call 
the adapter will make a callback to either a preconfigured number or to the incoming 
number. The callback can be protected by a password. The unit can also be configured  
for a secure access without callback.
If the password is enabled, the calling part will be prompted for the password directly 
after connection. When the password is entered correctly, the adapter will disconnect 
the current link and make a callback after a preconfigured number of seconds (configura-

tor command: capa [default 3]). 
If the unit is configured as ”secure access”, it will allow data only after the password is 
correctly entered.
After 3 retries of entering wrong password or after 60 seconds, the link will be discon-
nected and the callback/secure access aborted.
The number to callback must be entered in the *wcbtab number table  
(*wcbtab1, *wcbtab 2 or *wcbtab 3).
The passwords is stored in: *wcbpwd1, *wcbpwd2 or *wcbpwd3.
When making a callback to a number stored in *wcbtab, the password in *wcbpwd1 is 
connected to the number in *wcbtab1 (and *wcbpwd2 to *wcbtab2 and *wcbpwd3 to 

*wcbtab3)
A callback to an analogue modem can be done with ID90-V90 and by storing an ’#’ 
before the number in catab. (see also the catab command in this manual)
For an even more secure connection the *wcb can be combined with the acctab  
command.
