1 . In t r o d u c t io n
The SRM-100 Secure Rack Modem is designed for applications that require secure, dial-up
access to console ports on rack mounted equipment. WTI's Secure Rack Modem can recognize
up to 100 passwords, track activity for each password and create a log record of successful
and/or unsuccessful access attempts.
P a s s w o r d P r o t e c t e d Ac c e s s
Up to 100 User Passwords can be stored in the SRM's non-volatile memory. Each User
Password can be assigned a user name for easy reference, and an optional Dial Back number
which instructs the unit to call the user at a predefined number before allowing access. A
separate System Password restricts access to the SRM command mode, this allows the system
administrator to contact the unit via modem in order to change parameters or check access
activity. Access to the SRM Command Mode via the Console Port can also be password
protected.
Ac c e s s Ac t iv it y Lo g s
The SRM-100 provides two convenient ways to track access activity; the Audit Log and the
Password Directory. The Audit Log lists the 100 most recent connection attempts, including
the time, date, password entered, port used, call duration, and reason for disconnect. The
Password Directory displays user names, passwords and dial back numbers, and counts use of
each individual password. The Audit Log and Password Directory can only be viewed by the
System Administrator; callers who log on with a User Password are not allowed to view these
screens.
Th r e e Dif f e r e n t Op e r a t in g Mo d e s
The SRM-100 provides three distinct operating modes; the User Mode, the Command Mode,
and the Unsecured Mode.
• User Mode: Provides password protected access to the secure device connected to the
SRM's serial modem port.
• Command Mode: Provides password protected access to the SRM Command Menus,
which are used to define passwords and select configuration parameters.
• Unsecured Mode: When this mode is activated, the SRM will function similar to an
unsecured modem; callers are allowed to access the secure device without entering a
password.

• Normally, the DTR signal must be high in order for the modem to communicate
with the secure device. If the DTR signal is low, the SRM-100 will prompt callers
to enter a password, but will disconnect when a valid User Password is entered.
• When the Ignore DTR option (See Section 5.3) is enabled, the SRM-100 will
ignore the DTR signal at the serial Modem Port. This allows the serial Modem
Port to be connected to a device that does supply a DTR line.

When installing the SRM-100 is an instrument rack, the following factors must be accounted
for:
1. Enclosed Racks: Enclosed racks must provide adequate ventilation. Make certain that
the rack is not overly crowded, and note that each unit in the rack generates its own heat.
An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to circulate cooling air. The
maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 45°C.
When mounting the unit in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top of the rack,
note that excessive heat generated by devices at the bottom of the rack can be drawn
upward and into the ventilation slots on units located at the top. Make certain to provide
adequate ventilation for equipment installed at the bottom of the rack.
2. Open Racks: Make certain that the rack frame does not block the ventilation slots on the
instrument cover. If the device is installed on sliders, check the unit when seated all the
way into the rack to make certain that ventilation slots are not blocked.

The Password Directory
2. Password: The User Password that is currently defined for this name. Note that the
password is case sensitive.
3. Dial Back Number: The Dial Back Number currently defined for this name. Note that if
the Dial Back Number has not been defined, this field will read "undefined".
4. Activity: The number of times this password has been used since the last time the
activity counter was reset. The procedure for resetting the activity counter is discussed in
Section 6.5.
6 .5 . Ze r o Ac t iv it y Co u n t e r s
In order to track password activity, the Password Directory screen lists the number of access
attempts for each user password/name. From time to time, you may wish to re-zero these
counters to obtain a more accurate picture of password activity. To Zero the Activity Counters,
proceed as follows:
1. Access the SRM-100 Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.
2. When the "SRM>" command prompt appears, type /Uand press [Enter]. The Utilities
Menu will appear as shown in Figure 7.2.
3. From the Utilities menu, type 1, then press [Enter] and follow the instructions in the
submenu.
6 .6 . Sa v e P a r a m e t e r s
After the Password Directory has been defined, it is recommended to save SRM configuration
parameters and the Password Directory to an ASCII file as described in Section 8. This allows
quick recovery in the event that the unit is reset to default parameters, or configuration is
accidentally deleted or altered.

7 . Op e r a t io n
7 .1 . SRM Op e r a t in g Mo d e s
The SRM-100 provides three separate operating modes; the User Mode, the Command Mode,
and the Unsecured Mode.
7 . 1 . 1 . Us e r Mo d e
The User Mode is activated when a caller enters a User Password at the login prompt. The
User Mode only allows the caller to access the secure device which is connected to the serial
modem port. The User Mode does not allow access to configuration menus or the Password
Directory.
7 . 1 . 2 . Co m m a n d Mo d e
The Command Mode is activated when a caller enters the System Password at the login prompt,
or when a local user enters the SRM Command Mode via the Console Port. The Command
Mode allows access to all SRM-100 configuration menus, and is used to define passwords and
select operating parameters as described in Sections 5 and 6 of this User's Guide.
7 . 1 . 3 . Un s e c u r e d Mo d e
When the Unsecured Mode is active, the SRM will function like a normal, unsecured modem.
Callers will be allowed to access the secure device without entering a password. The
Unsecured Mode is activated by placing SetUp Switch 8 in the Up position (see Section 4.3.7),
or by accessing the General Parameters Menu (see Section 5.2) and disabling the Security
Mode. Note that when the Unsecured mode is active, you will not be able to access the
Command Mode via modem; you will only be able to access the SRM Command Mode via the
console port.
In order to return to password-protected operation, you must either access the Command Mode
via the Console Port, and then use the General Parameters Menu to enable the Security Mode,
or enable the Security Mode by placing SetUp Switch 8 in the Down position, and then
reinitialize the SRM unit as described in Section 4.4.
7 .2 . P a s s w o r d Fu n c t io n s
The SRM-100 features three different types of passwords; the System Password, the Console
Port Password, and the User Passwords. The System Password allows system administrators to
invoke configuration commands and review connection activity. The Console Port Password
allows access to the SRM Command Mode via the Console Port. The User Passwords allow
callers to access the secure device that is connected to the SRM's serial Modem Port .

SRM-100 - Secure Rack Modem, User's Guide
Operation
7 . 2 . 1 . Th e Sy s t e m P a s s w o r d
The System Password restricts user access to the SRM Command Mode via modem and via the
Console Port. The Command Mode allows system administrators to invoke commands to select
configuration parameters, edit the password directory, and review connection activity.
The SRM allows definition of one System Password, which is defined via the General
Parameters Menu (/G). The default System Password is "SUPER". Note that the System
Password is case sensitive.
When the SRM is accessed via the Console Port, a password prompt will be displayed (if the
Console Port Password has been defined). If the System Password or Console Port Password is
entered at this prompt, you will be allowed to access the SRM Command Mode. Likewise,
when the SRM answers an incoming call, the password prompt is also displayed. However, in
this case, if the System Password is entered, the caller is still granted access to the Command
Mode; but if a User Password is entered, the caller will be allowed to access the secure device.
No te s :
• If the System Password is cleared or deleted at the General Parameters menu,
remote users will not be able to access the SRM Command Mode via modem.
• When defining the System Password, it is recommended that you record the
password for future reference.
• If you lose your System Password, the only way to access the Command Mode is
to access the Command Mode via the Console Port (as described in
Section 5.1.1.), or reinitialize the unit to default parameters as described in
Section 4.4.
7 . 2 . 2 . Th e Co n s o le P o r t P a s s w o r d
The Console Port Password restricts access to the SRM-100 Command Mode via the Console
Port only. The SRM allows definition of one Console Port Password, which is defined via the
General Parameters Menu (/G). The default Console Port Password is undefined.
No te s :
• If the Console Port Password is not defined, local users will be able to access the
SRM Command Mode via the Console port without entering a password.
• The Console Port Password cannot be used to access the SRM Command Mode
via Modem.
• The Console Port Password can be identical to the System Password.
7 . 2 . 3 . Us e r P a s s w o r d s
User Passwords allow callers to access the secure device connected to the SRM's serial Modem
Port. User Passwords do not grant access to the Command Mode. The SRM-100 allows
definition of up to one hundred User Passwords, which are defined via the Edit Password
Directory Menu (/E) as described in Section 6. Note that User Passwords are case sensitive.

SRM-100 - Secure Rack Modem, User's Guide
Operation
7 . 2 . 4 . Dia l Ba c k Nu m b e r s
Both the System Password and the User Passwords allow definition of a Dial Back Number.
When a Dial Back Number has been defined for a given password, callers who enter that
password will not be granted immediate access. Instead, when a valid password is entered, the
SRM will disconnect, call the defined Dial Back Number for the password, and then grant
access to the answering party.
When a Dial Back for a System Password is performed, the SRM-100 will allow access to the
Command Mode. When a Dial Back for a User Password is performed, the SRM will allow
access to the secure device. The System Dial Back Number is defined via the General
Parameters Menu (/G), and the User Dial Back Numbers are defined via the Edit Password
Directory Menu (/E).
Note that when User Dial Back Numbers are defined, the SRM can be configured to perform a
Dial Back for some User Passwords, while granting immediate access to other User Passwords.
If the Dial Back Number is not defined for a given password, then a Dial Back will not be
performed when that password is entered at the log in prompt.
No te s :
• Additional callers will receive a busy signal while the Dial Back operation is in
progress.
• If the initial call is not successful, the SRM will repeat the Dial Back procedure as
specified by item 12 (Dial Back Attempts) and item 13 (Dial Back Delay) in the
General Parameters Menu (see Section 5.2).
7 . 2 . 5 . P a s s w o r d o n Dia l Ba c k
The Password on Dial Back option provides an additional level of security when Dial Back
numbers are used; when a Dial Back is performed, the SRM will prompt the answering party to
enter a password before allowing access. When this feature is enabled at the System
Parameters Menu, it will be applied to both System Passwords and User Passwords.
Each time the SRM is accessed via modem, a password prompt is displayed, and the caller will
then key in a User Password or System Password. If the password is recognized as valid, the
SRM will check to see if a Dial Back Number has been assigned to that password.
If a Dial Back Number has been assigned, the SRM will hang-up, and call the Dial Back
Number. If "Password on Dial Back" has been enabled, the answering party will again be
prompted to enter a password. If the System Password is entered, the answering party will be
allowed to access Command Mode. If a User Password is entered, the answering party will be
allowed to access the secure device.
Note that the password entered at the Dial Back prompt must be the same password that was
entered at the dial in prompt.

Operation
7 .3 . Su p p r e s s in g t h e Co n f ir m a t io n P r o m p t
The SRM will display a confirmation prompt before executing commands such as /X
(exit/disconnect), or performing tasks such as clearing the Audit Log. Normally, this provides
one last chance to cancel a command before it is executed. In some cases, you may wish to
execute a command without being prompted for confirmation. To suppress the prompt, include
the ",Y" argument in the command line.
Examples:
• Exit/Disconnect: To exit from Command Mode without displaying the confirmation
prompt, type /X,Yand press [Enter].
• Delete Audit Log: The Utilities menu includes a function (item 2) which allows you to
clear all logged connection attempts. If you type 2 and press [Enter], the SRM will
display a prompt before proceeding. If you type 2,Yand press [Enter], the SRM will
clear the Audit Log without displaying the prompt.
7 .4 . Dia lin g Ou t f r o m t h e Mo d e m P o r t
In addition to limiting access by incoming callers, the SRM-100 can also be used to place
outgoing calls. The device connected to the SRM's serial Modem Port can access the SRM in
the same manner as one would access an external modem.
No te : The SRM does not automatically sense the baud rate. When communicating
with the unit via the Modem port, make certain your baud rate is set to match the
SRM.
1. Set Parameters: Use the SRM's Modem Parameters menu to configure the modem as
desired (See Section 5.3). The device connected to the serial Modem Port must be set to
communicate at the same baud rate as the SRM's serial Modem Port.
2. Execute Dial Command: Invoke an AT command to dial the desired number. For
example, to dial 555-1234 using tone dialing, the following command line would be sent
to the SRM via the serial Modem Port: ATDT5551234 [Enter].
3. Disconnecting: To disconnect and end the modem communication session, type +++,
and then type ATH0. The modem will disconnect and hang-up.
For additional AT commands, please refer to the on-line SRM-100 User's Guide at
