    InterBBS Caller Verification (CallBack Verification) Configuration   
  

     Before you begin with the configuration be sure that you have specified
   the command and the security level allowed to use the function in IBBSCFG
   "Events & Command Definitions" in the "Main Menu Command Definition File".


   SECURITY AND FILENAME CONFIGURATION
     
   IBBSCFG Option O "Callback Verifier Configuration".

     These fields specify the security level allowed to use the function as
   well as the callers new security level after a successful callback. It
   also sets the days until the users account expires. Each field is
   explained in detail below.

   Security Level required to use CALLBACK:

                         This is the security level you want to callback
                         for verification. In most cases it will be the
                         level that was defined in "Level given new users"
                         in IBBSCFG.
                                    

   New Security Level Assigned After Verification:

                         The new security level given to the user upon a
                         successful callback and password verification.
                         If this field is set to -1, then the original
                         security level will not be modified, even upon a
                         successful verification.


   When Verified, Days Until Subscription Expires:

                         Number of days given to the user before their
                         account expires. For example. If this field is set
                         to "30", then after 30 days the users security
                         level will be dropped to the level specified in the
                         "Expired Subscription Security Level" field in
                         IBBSCFG. If subscription mode is not enabled this
                         field will be ignored.


  
   DIALING CONFIGURATION
    
   (Call-Back .LST FIle)

     This is the config file for the specific telephone numbers and whether
   or not they can be called, as well as the times that these calls are
   allowed and the modem dial string. It also specifies whether a number
   is long distance and requires an area code to be dialed or a local
   number not requiring an area code.

   Note: The maximum number of entries is limited to 4,096.  If you require
         more contact InterBBS Development to request a "customized"
         IBBSCFG.EXE.

   Each field is explained in detail below.

   TELEPHONE #      The telephone number to dial or not to dial. Question
   or Mask          marks are "Wildcards". For example 813-???-???? would be
                    the setup for all numbers in the 813 area code. You may
                    also set up prefixes within the area code. 813-733-????
                    would be the setup for all numbers within the 813 area
                    code that have the 733 prefix.

        IMPORTANT:  Telephone number masks *must* be entered in an ascending
                    order of precedence.  This means the more "wildcards" a
                    given entry contains, the higher the precedence.  Numbers
                    of lower precedence are more specific to area codes or
                    made even more specific by specifying an area code AND
                    exchange.

                    Examples of correct precedence:
                    813-885-????
                    813-253-????
                    813-???-????
                    ???-???-????

                    Examples of incorrect precedence:
                    813-???-????
                    813-253-????
                    ???-???-????
                    813-885-????

   DIAL OK :        This field determines whether or not to dial the
                    specified phone number.

   W/D START:       The weekday time to start allowing callbacks to the
                    specified number.

   W/D STOP:        The weekday time to stop allowing callbacks to the
                    specified number.

   W/E START:       The Weekend time to start allowing callbacks to the
                    specified number.

   W/E END:         The Weekend time to stop allowing callbacks to the
                    specified number.

   UPDT ACTION:     There are 4 possible settings for this field.
                    S = Stay connected after callback is completed.
                    D = Disconnect user after callback is completed.
                    U = Upgrade user without a callback. Useful for
                        upgrading long distance callers without having
                        to dial a long distance number.
                    N = Telephone Number was set to NON-DIALABLE. User is
                        not to be upgraded. User is returned to the BBS to
                        continue the session.

   DIAL PREFIX:     Dial string your modem uses as well as any numbers
                    that have to be dialed before the actual phone number.
                    For most modems the dial string will be ATDT. Be sure
                    that if the number being dialed requires an additional
                    prefix, such as a "1" before the number, that it is also
                    included. Example : ATDT1.

   #s TO DIAL:      The maximum digits (nn) to dial for a specified phone
                    number.
                    If the number being dialed requires that an area code be
                    dialed before the number this field would be set to "10".
                    If the number is local and there is no need to dial an
                    area code, then it would usually be set to "7".

                    The "10" and "7" mentioned above are derived from the
                    USA and Canada telephone numbering scheme.
                    Other countries' telephone numbering schemes vary.
                    In all cases the maximum digits to dial should be the
                    RIGHT MOST nn digits of the user's DATA number.



   PREVIOUSLY DIALED NUMBERS (Trash File)
     

   After a new user is verified the phone number is logged in the
   IBBSCBV.NUM file in the \IBSYS directory. Any number listed in this
   file will not be called again. This file may be edited with any text
   editor to add or remove phone numbers.


   CALLBACK VERIFIER LOG
    

   IBBS creates a log for the callback verifier called IBBSCBV.RSP in the
   /IBSYS directory. The log contains the date and the time of the
   verification as well as the user's name, security level and expiration
   date. It also logs a result code to let the sysop know what the result
   of the callback action was. The result codes are as follows:

   CODE    DESCRIPTION

    0      Callback completed successfully
    1      Unable to dial (Invalid telephone number)
    2      Sysop configured the system not to dial the specified number.
           (No call made)
    3      The time the attempt was made was not in the specified calling
           time (No call made)
    4      User security greater or equal to the security specified in the
           security setup for "Upgraded Sec Level" (No callback)
    5      Failed to make a connection in the dial attempt
    6      Caller refused verification.
    7      Password failure. The user entered the incorrect password when
           called back and prompted.
    8      User's phone number has already been verified (No call made).
