SECURITY through

• Caller ID - Challenger Keys
• Audit Reporting
• Use for Remote, Mobile, or Cell Phone Users

DESCRIPTION
The Telephone Line to Computer Interface has a number of uses. However, it was primarily designed to be used for AUTHENTICATION TYPE SECURITY and AUDIT TRAIL REPORTING for dial telephone lines. It can be used for either or both.

It provides up to two security options.

1. CPS's CHALLENGER hardware keys and
2. CALLER ID.

This makes it an effective authentication device for the stationary remote user as well as the mobile user. The Caller ID feature addresses authentication requirements for cell phones.

It can be used in large commercial environments with a number of TelCo lines, or in a small office environment with only a few lines. One unit is required for each line. It can also be used in the home to eliminate the disturbing rings from unwanted nuisance calls.

SECURITY
When used in the SECURE MODE, the TLC challenges all inbound calls for the proper means of identification from the caller. It provides two levels of security:

1. The CHALLENGER HARDWARE KEYS provide the quickest and highest level of security. The Keys are small match box sized devices that connect to the callers modems with standard RJ-11 type connections. Unauthorized calls that fail to meet challenge/response are aborted in less than one half second and are not recognized as modem answered calls by hackers. The customer can program a separate user ID number into each Key, which can be used for further audit purposes, if required.

2. The CALLER ID security option matches the inbound Caller ID number against a database of authorized numbers prior to allowing the ring through. The database is entered from the PC. It can accommodate up to 50 valid Caller ID numbers.

REPORTS
The TLC also provides a time/date stamped detailed report (pictured below) of both inbound and outbound calls. Inbound calls include the Caller ID number or the CHALLENGER KEY ID number, if used, as well as the call duration. This event log is transmitted to a printer, PC or any serial device connected to the RS-232 port as it occurs.

The unit is easy to operate. It connects to the analog side of the receiving modem, or other analog devices and to the RS-232 port on a PC. Multiple units may be stacked together or "book end stacked" on a 19" rack mount shelf. The concatenation port supplies power as well as event information to subsequent ports.
