Secure Modems for PBX

[Steviebgood]

Hi There,

I am looking for a secure modem to be used in conjuction with PBX's and am having difficulties finding one that meets my needs. Could anyone suggest a modem that will add another level of security to the PBX?

Thank you

There are SEB's (site event buffers) they install before the switch and require you, once connected to enter in a password before you get to the logi prompt.

Hi,
you can use a US robotics courier modem.
That supports remote and local passwords. only 8 characters though, but it is case sensitive.

you can set it for both remote and local passwords

Cheaper than £800 too.

Hello,

we are using Zyxel U90 E modems. It allows you to setup the modem so that you will be asked for password and then modem let's you communicate with PBX. This modem allows also super secure connection. Based on the password you enter when connected the modem dials back a preconfigured number!

Works well and definitely does not cost 800GBP!

we use a cyclades TS to access ours, does dial backs as well.

It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.

you can set up a us robotics, their bottom of the line will do a callback to a preset number, just dial in and hang up, the modem calls a preprogramed number back.. the setup is in the manual, just atdt commands

Also, Motorola UDS modems (models .3225 and later) allow use of passwords. A couple models have password, hangup, then the modem calls you back. A bit of a pain though.

If you have a LAN/WAN, you can stick a term server on the RS232 port and then it only can be accessed via telnet from within your network.
