What Days and Times Are Users Allowed Access to the
System?
You can restrict the times during the week that a user can access the system down to the hour. Your
administrators, who must be able to deal with system problems at any time, should of course be
given access at any time of the week. Normal users who would need to access the system only
during business hours should be given access only during business hours. Users who are on the
road and may be calling in during the evening or weekend could be given access between 6:00
A.M.
and 12:00
A.M. Of course, many other possibilities exist.

What User Interface Do You Want to Present to Call-In Users?
MultiCommManager security allows you to fully configure the messages that are presented to call-
in users. You might want to try the default setup first and decide later what you want to change (the
welcome message is a common one to change).

Which Modems Should Be Dial-In, Dial-Out, or Both?
MultiCommManager security allows you to set your modems to allow only dial-in calls (inbound
security modems), dial-out calls (outbound security modems),or to allow both (“both” security
modems). Dial-in modems can be used for either pass-through calls or for the first part of callback
calls. Dial-out modems can be used only to call back callback users (the second part of a callback
call). “Both” modems can be used to either accept inbound security calls or to call back callback
users.
Example 1
Callback only—one host type.
Modems Security type Connected to Modem group
1A–1B Inbound security Nothing Unassigned
1C–1F Outbound security The host computer Unassigned
1A and 1B are not connected to any host on their RS-232 ports. They accept only short inbound
calls in which users call in and pass security so that they can be called back.
