How to Set Up Your User Database
1. Select Tools|Security Database Editor to run the Security Database Editor. In the Security
Database Editor you can create new security databases or edit existing security databases.
2. Before entering users into the database, separate them into different classes based on
security level and type and create a template for each class, so that your user profiles are set
up in a consistent manner. To add one user to the database, select Record|Add. This opens a
dialog box in which you can set up all settings for your user. If you have multiple security
modem groups, pay particular attention to setting up which modem groups the user belongs
to.
3. After entering a few users, save the database file by selecting File|Save and typing a
distinctive file name.
4. Test your system and make sure it is functioning properly, then add the rest of your users.
For more information on how to set up a template or use the Security Database Editor, see the
online Help.
How to Test or Monitor Your Security System
When a user dials into a security modem, he or she should see a welcome message followed by a
user ID prompt. After entering a user ID and password, the user should either be connected
directly to the host, if the user is a pass-through user, or get a message saying that the user will be
called back, if the user is a callback user. If the user is a variable user, then the user should be
prompted for a phone number at which to be called back. If the modem doesn’t answer, then it is
either an outbound security modem or it hasn’t had its settings loaded into it. If the modem
answers but displays no prompts then it probably hasn’t had its security settings loaded.
If the user is a pass-through user, then you should be able to look in the Call Traffic window to see
the connection and which user is connected to the modem. If the user is a callback user, you should
be able to see the user in the Callback Queue window. Here you can watch the modem as it tries to
call back the user. Once the user is called back and the connection is made, the user disappears
from the Callback Queue window and appears in the Call Traffic window.
How to Set Global Security Attributes
MultiCommManager security has several global parameters that can be modified, such as whether
users should be prompted for passwords and how many times a user can fail a user ID/password
security check before the call is disconnected. You can modify these settings by selecting
Setup|Modem| Security|Defaults.
