3. Edit Password Directory: From the System Parameters Menu, type
5 and press [Enter] to display the Edit Password Directory Menu. At
this point, you may either define new passwords that use the Dial Back
Function, or alter existing passwords to include the Dial Back Function.
The following parameters should be defined in the Add Name/Password
Menu or Edit/Delete Password/Name Menu:
• Item 3, Dial Back #: The number that will be called when a Dial Back
is performed. This is the number for the password owner’s modem.
• Item 4, Dial Back Mode: Enables/Disables the Dial Back function for
this password. When enabled, this password will require a dial back to
be performed whenever this password user attempts to access the unit
via modem.
Note: In order for new parameters to be applied, you must save each
password before leaving the menu.
Dial Back Example:
Assume that the unit is configured as follows:
System Parameters Menu:
• Item 2, Password on Dial Back: On
• Item 3, Dial Back Attempts: 3
• Item 4, Dial Back Delay: 30 Seconds
Add Name/Password Menu:
• Item 1, Name: Test
• Item 2, Password: test
• Item 3, Dial Back #: 5551234
• Item 4, Dial Back Mode: On
Given this configuration, the unit would behave as follows :
1. Password "test" Entered at Modem Port: Unit confirms that password
is valid, then disconnects.
2. Dial Back: Unit dials "555-1234" (the Dial Back Number for "test") and
waits for the user’s remote modem to answer.
3. Password on Dialback: When the modem at the Dial Back Number
answers, the APS-8/16M will prompt the user to enter the password
before allowing access to command mode.
4. Dial Back Attempts and Delays: If the modem does not answer, the unit
will then attempt to redial the number three times (Dial Back Attempts),
and will pause for approximately 30 seconds (Dial Back Delay) between
each redial.
