Getting Started ® The DEFINITY Remote Port Security Device (RPSD) is a single line dial-up port protection system that prevents unauthorized access to a host resource. Host resource dial-up ports, called “subscribers,” are protected by the installation of the RPSD Lock hardware unit on the analog interface channel leading to the subscriber port. Access is provided only when the calling party uses the RPSD Key, a hardware unit installed on the analog interface channel on the calling party end. T

The RPSD system protects a port in the following manner: a call into the channel to the protected host activates the RPSD Lock. Without involving the protected host resource or its associated modem, the RPSD Lock performs a verification of the caller’s identity through a set of communications with the RPSD Key using DTMF signaling. This process is described in the following procedure and is illustrated by Figure 1-1. 1 The Lock, installed on tip and ring on the network side of any modem or prote

The RPSD Lock device is approximately the size of a modem and is connected between the PBX modem and the Central Office (CO) line. The RPSD Key device is of similar size and is connected between the client’s (caller’s) modem and CO line. See Figure 1-2. FIGURE 1-2 RPSD Lock and Key Configuration In Figure 1-2, the term “AT&T Remote Operations” refers to Technical Services Center remote administration and maintenance operations, Bell Labs Field Support and other entities.
