the number may be called. When importing numbers from a file, a default value of 30 (call during
any time period) is applied to any numbers that are read without a valid time period.
Timeout: The number of seconds that PhoneSweep will wait for a response from a remote number
before it gives up and goes on to the next number. Used with modems that do not support remote
ringing. Set on the Time sub-tab; default values are 50 seconds in Business Hours, 92 seconds
otherwise
Unknown: All phone numbers have a default status of Unknown System when a profile is created. This
status only changes on Carrier lines in Identify and Penetrate Levels of Effort where PhoneSweep
is able to identify the system.

easily guessed password.
