1.3 Product Overview
This user manual is arranged to take you through the basics of correct
hardware configuration and installation, then to software set-up and on to
the more specialised user definable software facilities of your KBU 64.
KBU 64 software configuration is generally not a complex operation. In
many applications once you have correctly configured the hardware and
installed your KBU 64s, the default software configuration settings will
suffice to provide reliable backup operation.
In section 4 of this manual we provide a general guide, detailing a
number of typical applications for the KBU 64 and outlining typical
configurations for use with each of these applications.
In this section we give a brief overview of many of the more specialised,
software configurable, features of your Kilostream backup unit. Each
topic is dealt with in detail in this manual.
1.3.1 Network Security
Your KBU 64 contains an integral security facility, designed to protect it
from being accessed by unauthorised users via the ISDN.
If the security option is enabled (ANSWER is set to CLID), the answering
KBU 64 will only accept a call originating from an ISDN number
matching one of those stored on its file of telephone numbers.
1.3.2 Telephone Number Storage
The non volatile memory will store up to 99 telephone numbers, allowing
you to select a backup telephone number for any particular circuit.
Alternative numbers can be dialled in the event of an unsuccessful call.
