Basic Configuration

Callback Number: Assigns a number that will be called when this account

attempts to access command mode via modem, and the Callback Security
Function has been enabled as described in Section 5.3.5. (Default = undefined.)

Notes:

• If the Callback Number is not defined, then Callbacks will not be performed

for this user.

• If the Callback Number is not defined for a given user, and the Callback

Security feature is configured to use either of the "On - Callback" options,
then this user will be granted immediate access to command mode via
modem.

• If the Callback Number is not defined for a given user, and the Callback

Security feature is configured to use the "On - Callback ONLY" option, then
this user will not be able to access command mode via Modem.

• When using the "On - Callback (With Password Prompt)" option, it is

important to remember that accounts that do not include a callback number
will be allowed to access command mode without callback verification.

5.5.3. Modifying User Accounts
The "Edit User Directory" function allows you to edit existing accounts in order to change
parameters, circuit access rights or Administrator Command capability. Note that the
Edit/Modify User function is only available when you have accessed command mode
using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.

Once you have accessed the Modify Users menu, use the menu options to redefine
parameters in the same manner employed for the Add User menu, as discussed in
Section 5.5.2.

Note: After you have finished changing parameters, make certain to save the
changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Modify
User" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the

[Esc] key

several times until the AFS-16 displays the "Saving Configuration" message.

5.5.4. Deleting User Accounts
This function is used to delete individual user accounts. Note that the Delete User
function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password
that permits Administrator Level commands.

Notes:

• Deleted accounts cannot be automatically restored.
• The AFS-16 allows you to delete the default "super" account, which is

included to permit initial access to command mode. Before deleting the
"super" account, make certain to create another account that permits
Administrator Access. If you do not retain at least one account with
Administrator Access, you will not be able to invoke Administrator level
commands.
