5686G-PRO User Guide
Setting up Dial Security
Here is a summary of the steps for setting up Dial Security:
1. Set up an account for yourself
2. Identify your account as the Administrative Acco unt
3. Set up guest-user accounts
4. Enable local (host) security
5. Choose a Dial Security method
6. Enable Dial Security
7. Activate the Dial Security settings
1. Set up an account for yourself
Use any of the 5 available accounts (numbered 0-4) for your account. Use the AT%An command to set up user accounts.
Note: The AT%An command is automatically written to NVRAM. It does not require you to send &W.
WARNING: Do not insert spaces between commas or between fields and commas. Spaces will invalidate the command.

5686G-PRO User Guide
To make the host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem
Command
Example
Hang up and then dial back a guest device at a specified number.
Expect a pause of approximately 1.5 minutes before the modem dials back. You cannot alter the duration of the pause.
AT%A0=password,y,y,n,1area code and phone number
AT%A0=wombat,y,y,n,1,8475555555
Prompt you to enter a number at which to dial back a device, and then have the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem dial back the device at that number
AT%A0=password,y,y,y,
AT%A0=wombat,y,y,y,
Disable dialback
AT%A0=password,y,n,,
AT%A0=wombat,y,n,,
Dialback options
You can set the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem to automatically dial back a certain number after a guest modem dials in.
Note: Count your commas. There should always be at least four commas in the %A command. Do not insert spaces between commas or between fields and commas. Spaces will invalidate the command.
Note: To enable Dialback, you must enable Dial Security with Prompting. See step 6.

5686G-PRO User Guide
For your modem to
Command
Example
Identify your account as the Administrative Account
AT%L
AT%L=PW0 This example sets account 0 as the Administrative Account.
For your modem to
Command
Protect the administrative password (local security enabled)
ATS53.2=1
2. Identify your account as the Administrative Account
Once you set the administrative password, you cannot view or modify the guest account profiles unless you enter the correct administrative password.
WARNING: Be sure to remember your administrative password. If you enable Dial Security and then forget your administrative password, you will be locked out of the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem’s dial security features. You will need to restore the factory defaults by setting DIP switch 7 ON. This will erase ALL passwords and you will have to reconfigure all your accounts.
3. Set up guest-user accounts
Use the AT%An command to set up guest-user accounts in the same way you set up your administrative account. You can set up four guest accounts. Refer to the figure in step 1 regarding information about formatting the AT%An command.
After you have enabled the guest accounts, make sure the guest users know their passwords and the log-in procedure.
Modifying accounts
After you have set up an account, you can modify each field independently. If a field is to remain unchanged from its original setting, just insert a com ma as shown:
AT%A1=,,,Y,
The command above allows the guest user to supply a dialback number that is different from the one stored in the original account record.
4. Enable Local Security.
WARNING: If you do not enable Local Security, the Dial Security settings will not be protected
and other users will be able to change or erase them.
Note: You must use the &W command to save the settings in NVRAM. If you don’t, the next time you reset or power off the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem , Dial Security will be disabled.
Copyright © 2018 USR, a Division of UNICOM Global
Page 21 of 94
5686G-PRO User Guide
5. Decide which Dial Security option to use
You can choose from the two types of Dial Security: Autopass and Password Prompting.
Autopass
Autopass is the default form of password protection. Autopass automates the process of logging in to the host modem, but it requires the guest and host devices to be U.S. Robotics Courier modems.
When a guest device attempts an Autopass connection, the guest includes the password in its V.42 error-control request. The host modem checks all the enabled passwords in its security accounts for a match.
Password Prompting
Password Prompting allows connections with any guest device, as long as the guest user knows the correct password.
When the host has Password Prompting enabled, it asks guest users for a password. The host modem checks the received password against each of its act ive Security accounts.
Copyright © 2018 USR, a Division of UNICOM Global
Page 22 of 94
5686G-PRO User Guide
When using Autopass Prompting
When using Password Prompting
Both the host and guest devices are made by U.S. Robotics and have Dial Security enabled.
Guest devices don’t have to support U.S.
Robotics Dial Security.
The connection between the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem or modems is under V.42 error control.
(Refer to the Alphabetic Command Summary section for information about using AT&M4 or AT&M5.)
V.42 error-control connections aren’t required.
If the guest includes an invalid password, the host sends an INVALID PASSWORD message and hangs up.
If the guest sends an invalid password, the host prompts twice more before disconnecting.
If the guest does not send a password after 60 seconds, the host disconnects.
If the guest includes a valid password, the host permits a secure connection.
The host will still always respond to a correct Autopass attempt.
If the guest did not enable Dial Security, the host will not accept the call unless prompting is enabled on the host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem.
The table below is a comparison between Autopass and Password prompting.

6. Enable Dial Security
WARNING: Before you enable Dial Security, you must set up an administrative account and
password. See Steps 1 & 2.
Example: Issuing AT%A3=wombat,y,y,y,5551234 to your modem will enable Password Prompting and Dialback for account 3, which has the password "wombat."
Note: You must use the &W command to save the settings for Enabling Autopass Dial Security
and Dial Security with Password Prompting. If you don’t, the next time you reset or power off the
Courier Lite 56K Business Modem, Dial Security will be disabled.
If you need a reference when setting these commands, you can use the ATI10 command. Refer to the Alphabetic Command Summary section for more information about the ATI10 command.
7. Send ATZ or ATZ! to activate the Dial Security settings.
Note: Make sure that DIP switch 7 is OFF, so the modem loads the settings stored in NVRAM. If
DIP switch 7 is ON, the settings in ROM (&F0) are loaded, disabling dial security. You can retrieve the dial security settings by setting DIP switch 7 OFF and resetting the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem using ATZ or by toggling the power of the modem.

Maintaining Security Accounts
Once the administrative password is set and Dial Security is enabled, the administrator is the on ly one who can access account information.
You can use the AT%S= and AT%E= commands to change and modify account information.
Example: Sending AT%E=3 erases passwords for accounts 0-4.
Note: When using the AT%S= command, the device echoes the administrative password, which is
case-sensitive. Courier 56K Business Modems will accept an invalid password entry, but will lock out users from the security commands. For example, if the password is Green, but you enter GREEN, an OK is displayed. However, if you try to type a security command (for example, ATI10 to view accounts), an [ACCESS DENIED] message is displayed.
Remote Configuration
Dial Security accounts may be configured remotely. (Refer to Configuring Dial Security Remotely at the end of this section .)

When guest users want to call in to the host (assuming you have enabled Dial Security by entering ATS53.0=1),
They must know the password. If you have enabled Dialback, they must set their device to auto -answer.
1. If the host has security enabled, get a password from the host’s administrator. The password is
case-sensitive, so be sure to copy it correctly.
If the host has prompting enabled and the host operator enables Dialback for your account, skip to Step 3.
2. For guest users with Courier Lite 56K Business Modem s (or I-Modems) only:
a) Create a security account using the password the host’s administrator asked you to use. (See
Setting Up Dial Security, earlier in this section for instructions.)
b) You need to assign the password as your Autopass password.
Example: Sending AT%V=PW3 will assign the password as an Autopass password for account 3.
c) Check to see that you set your Autopass password correctly by using the ATI10 command.
Your Autopass password appears beside AUTOPASS PASSWORD if you have done all the steps correctly.
d) Once the Autopass password is set, enable your Courier Lite 56K Business Modem’s Dial Security.
CAUTION: If you do not follow an S-Register setting with &W, the setting will be retained only until the next reset or power off.

4. Call the host.
5. After the call ends you can disable Auto Answer.
Configuring Dial Security Remotely
The host administrator can configure the host’s security settings remotely.
Note: At the host device, you must have previously enabled remote access and assigned a remote ­access password that allows view-and-change privileges (Refer to the Accessing and Configuring the
Modem Remotely section in this guide). You may want to use your administrative password as your
remote-access password.
Dialing In From the Remote Site
1. From the remote site, connect to the host using Dial Security. Once a connection is made,
follow the instructions for beginning a remote -access session as described in the Accessing and Configuring the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem Remotely.
2. When remote access has been granted, use the AT%S= command to access the Dial Security
accounts. Refer to the Maintaining Security Accounts part in this section .
To view the security account information use ATI10.
3. Make any configuration changes and execute them immediately by entering AT%C2.
4. To end the remote session and reactivate Dial Security on the host, reset the host device by
issuing ATZ.
WARNING: If you do not use the ATZ command to end a remote-access session, Dial Security will remain disabled at the host, and anyone dialing in to the host for remote access will have access to the ATI10 screen and all Dial Security accounts.

DTMF Security
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi -Frequency) Security requires a modem to go off hook when it receives a call but keep silent until it receives the valid DTMF password. After the modem receives the valid password, it will begin training. If the DTMF password is invalid, the modem will go on hook, and the DTE will never know there had been a cal l coming.
The DTMF security status and password are shown in the ATI10 screen.
DTMF security is enabled by setting the S53 bit 3, e.g. S53=8 or S53.3=1.
Using the %D command sets the DTMF security password (AT%D=PWn, n=0--4). Make sure to disable that account so no one can use the DTMF password as the Dial Security account. For example, to set local modem DTMF security password, you may use following command: AT%A0=123456,N,,, then AT%D=PW0. You can change that security account later, if you like.
The DTMF password can be the combination of 0123456789*ABCD; the # is used as the password end sign. The maximum length of the DTMF password is eight characters.
The remote modem dial string should look like this: ATDT2625000@123456#. In this example, “123456” is the DTMF security password.
Testing the Connection
This section contains information about:
Testing the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem using AT&Tn
Overview
Your modem can perform local analog loopback and local digital loopback tests. You can use these tests to check the operations of the modem’s transmitter and receiver, or to locate a problem with a remote device or a telephone line.
Testing is done by sending the AT&Tn command or by setting Register S16. Only one test can be performed at a given time. If you send a test command while the modem is in test mode, you will receive an ERROR message.
All loopback testing conforms to ITU-T Recommendation V.54.

Testing the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem using AT&Tn
To perform local analog loopback and local digital loopback testing, use the AT&Tn command. You can type in your own data during testing or use the modem's internal test pattern and error detector. See the following sections for more detailed information about each AT&Tn command.
Example: Sending AT&T3 to your Courier Lite 56K Business Modem will allow a remote user to test their connection to your modem.
Note: Disable error control (using the &M0 command, refer to the Alphabetic Command Summary ) before testing. If the modem is detecting errors and retransmitting the affected data, your results will be invalid.
Analog Loopback Testing
Local loopback testing checks the operation of the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem 's transmitter and receiver.
Using AT&T1
1. Send AT&M0&N3S14.0=0 to prepare the modem for testing.
This command disables error control, fixes the connection rate at 2400 bps, and makes the modem return to command mode when you type +++.
Copyright © 2018 USR, a Division of UNICOM Global
Page 29 of 94
5686G-PRO User Guide
2. Send AT&T1 to the modem so it enters analog loopback mode. The CD status light will
illuminate.
3. Type any recognizable data. It will be looped back by your modem's transmitter for
verification on your screen.
4. When the test is completed, send +++ and then AT&T0 to end the test.
Alternatively, you can end the test by sending ATH, or ATZ. Be careful, though, because ATZ resets the modem in addition to ending the test.
In either case, the modem responds with OK. If the modem sends an ERROR message, you have issued an invalid command.
5. Send AT&M4, unless you used a reset command (ATZ).
Note: If the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem is in online command mode, still connected to a remote modem, and you send AT&T1 or AT&T8, it drops the call, enters analog loopback mode, sends a CONNECT result, and waits for loopback characters.
Stopping a Test (AT&T0, ATS18)
To stop a test, send AT&T0 to the modem, or set Register S18 to a specified number of seconds (for example, ATS18=10). When the 10 seconds are up, the modem will stop the test automatically and return to Command Mode. Send ATH to the modem to hang up, or send ATZ to hang up and reset the modem to its defaults.
Note: If you use the S18 test timer, but in the process of testing you issue an ATZ command, S18 resets to zero and the timer is disabled. You cannot store a value for S18 in NVRAM; its power-on and reset default is always zero.
Using AT&T8
This analog loopback option causes the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem to send an internal test pattern to its transmitter and loop it back to the receiver. An internal error detector counts any errors and, when the test is ended, sends the number of errors or 000 (no errors) to the screen.
Since you don't type anything during this test and the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem does not send anything to the screen, this option verifies only the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem. If there are no errors but your problem continues, it may be at the computer interface.
1. Send AT&M0&N3S14.0=0 to the modem to prepare for testing.
This command disables error control, fixes the connection rate at 2400 bps, and makes the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem return to command mode when you type +++.

An ERROR message indicates that you issued an invalid command.
2. Send AT&T8 to begin the test.
The Courier Lite 56K Business Modem enters analog loopback (AL) mode, and sends a CONNECT message. The CD status light will illuminate. The modem then sends its internal test pattern to the transmitter, and loops the pattern back to the receiver. You will not see any data on your screen.
3. Send the escape code, +++, and then AT&T0 to end the test.
Alternatively, you can end the test with the S18 test timer or by sending ATH or ATZ. Be careful, because ATZ resets the modem in addition to ending the test.
In any case, the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem hangs up and returns a three-digit code, followed by OK.
4. Send AT&M4, unless you used a reset command (ATZ or ATZ!).
Digital Loopback Testing (AT&T3)
This test can help you locate a problem with a remote device or with the telephone line. The figure below shows the data flow during Digital Loopback (DL) testing.
1. Send the command AT&M0&N3S14.0=0 to the modem to prepare for testing.
This command disables error control, fixes the connection rate at 2400 bps, and makes the Courier return to command mode when you type +++.
2. Establish a connection with the remote device.
3. Send the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem the escape code, +++, to bring it back to Command
mode.
4. Send AT&T3 to the modem to enter Digital Loopback mode.

5686G-PRO User Guide
5. Have the remote user type a short message. It will be looped back by your Courier Lite 56K
Business Modem's transmitter for verification on the remote user's screen. You will not see the message or any other data.
6. When the remote user has completed the test, send the escape code, +++, and then AT&T0 to
end the test.
Alternatively, you can end the test with the S18 test timer or by sending ATH or ATZ. Be careful, because ATZ resets the modem in addition to ending the test.
In any case, the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem responds OK. If the modem sends an ERROR message, you have issued an invalid command.
7. Send AT&M4, unless you used ATZ.
REFERENCE
S-Registers
Understanding Bit -Mapped S-Registers
A bit-mapped S-Register uses one number to describe a collection of settings. Bit -mapping allows us to pack a lot of information in a small space.
Bit-mapped registers are in the form of Sr.b=n, where r is the bit -mapped register; .b is the bit; n is 0 (off) or 1 (on).
The modem displays the value of an S-Register, as a decimal value between 0 and 255. The modem, however, understands the decimal value as a collection of binary digits (bits).

How bits are mapped to decimal values
Bits can be mapped into decimal values. Each bit can be either on (1) or off (0). Eight bits create 256 unique combinations of 1s and 0s. Each of the eight bits can be assigned a number corresponding to its position:
b b b b b b b b 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Also, each bit can be assigned a value corresponding to its number (e.g., the value equals 2 to the power of the bit):
Converting Bits to Decimal Values
Starting with a string of eight bits, assign each "1" bit a value based on its position. Add the values to come up with the final decimal value.
Here’s an example of how bits are converted to decimal values:

Sets the number of rings on which to answer in Auto Answer mode. S0=0 disables Auto Answer. S0=1 enables Auto Answer and the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem answers on the first ring.
S1 0 Counts and stores the number of rings from an incoming call.
S2
43
Stores the ASCII decimal code for the escape code character. Default character is “+”. A value of 128-255 disables the escape code.
Converting Decimal Values to Bits
Convert decimal values to bits by finding the largest decimal equivalent that is less than the decimal value. Subtract the decimal equivalent and mark the equivalent bit "1." Continue until the decimal value is zero. See the example below.
113 113 - 64 = 49 01 49 -32 = 17 011 17 -16 = 1 0111 1 -1 = 0 01110001
Setting Bit-Mapped S-Registers
You can set bit-mapped S-Registers using either bits or decimal values. While it may be simpler for you to set the bits individually, your modem displays the S -Register settings in decimal form.
Using Bits
Turning individual bits on and off is the more direct way to set bit -mapped S-Registers. To do this, specify the S-Register that you want to set and then indicate which bits you want to turn on (1) or off (0).
Example: ATS13.0=1.4=1.5=1, turns bits 0, 4, and 5 on for S-Register 13.
Using Decimal Values
An alternative way to set bit-mapped S-Registers is by adding the decimal values of the bits and entering the total.
This example, ATS13=49, sets the same value as the one in Using Bits above.

&Hn
Transmit data flow control. Prevents the modem’s buffer for data transmitted to the
modem by its attached computer from overflowing.
&H0
Disable transmit data flow control.
&H1
Use hardware flow control. Requires that your computer and software support Clear to Send (CTS) at the EIA -232 interface.
&H2
Use software flow control. Requires that your software support XON/XOFF signaling
&H3
Use both hardware and software flow control. If you are unsure about what your equipment supports, select this option.
&In
Received data software flow (XON/OFF) control.
&I1
The modem acts on your typed XON/XOFF commands, Ctrl -S or Ctrl-Q, and passes them to the remote device.
&I2
The modem acts on your XON/XOFF commands, but removes them from the data stream instead of passing them to the remote device. This is the recommended setting for ARQ mode.
&Kn
Enable or disable data compression. This command overwrites the current status of the +DCS and +DS commands, and is also overwritten by changes made by the +DCS and +DS commands.
&K0
Disable data compression.
&K1
Use auto-enable/disable. The modem enables compression if the serial port rate is fixed (&B1) and disables compression if the serial port rate follows the connection rate (&B0) because compression offers no throughput advantage when the serial port and connection rates are equal; in fact, compression may degrade throughput.
&K2
Always enable data compression.
&K3
Selective data compression. The modem negotiates only for V.42 bis compression, and disables MNP Level 5 (MNP5) compression. Use this setting to transfer compressed files.

Destructive, expedited.
&Y2
Nondestructive, expedited.
&Y3
Nondestructive, unexpedited; the modem sends a break -in-sequence with data received from your computer or terminal.
If the call is under data compression, destructive breaks cause both modems to reset their data
compression tables. When transmission resumes, the modems build new tables, and the result is temporary lower-than-normal throughput.
&Zn=s

In the following example, &M0 (no error control) is inserted before the Dial command. Example: AT&M0 DS2
This command functions differently when Dial Security is enabled.
Also, do not include modem settings in the &Zn string. If the call requires a special setting, insert it in the command string before the DSn command.

Fax Service Class 2.0 Commands
In addition to the standard Class 2.0 fax commands, U.S. Robotics implements the following optional Class 2.0 fax commands:
Fax Mode Flow Control Setting
Many facsimile software products use software flow control when the modem is in Fax mode. Throughout our documentation, we recommend that you use hardware flow control for Data mode (factory setting). However, to allow compatibility with software products that use software flow control by default, U.S. Robotics fax modems automatically change to software flow control when entering Fax mode.
FCC Notice
FCC part 68, rules regarding fax operation, has been amended as follows:
Telephone facsimile machines identification of the sender of the message: It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such a message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or of such business, other entity, or individual. Telephone facsimile machines manufactured on and after December 20, 1992 must clearly mark such identif ying information on each transmitted page.
Notes
If you want to know more about the supported Class 1 fax commands, refer to the standard for the Service Class 1 fax protocol:
