Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration

Remote configuration is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems anywhere in your network from one location. With password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT commands to a remote MultiModem II modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.

Basic Procedure

The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is established by the local or the remote MultiModem II modem.

1.Establish a data connection with a remote MT5600BA-V92 modem.

2.Send three asterisks to initiate remote configuration. The remote modem responds:

Online Remote Access Remote password:

3.Type the remote configuration password, and then press ENTER. The default is “MULTITECH.” It is not case-sensitive.

•If the password is incorrect, the word CONNECT appears, and the local modem is returned to online mode.

•If the password is correct, an >AT_ command prompt appears.

4.Type AT commands to configure the remote modem. It is not necessary to precede the commands with “AT.”

5.When you have finished configuring the remote modem, type *E and press ENTER to exit remote configuration mode and return to online data mode. You can now break the connection in the normal way.

Note: The dialing command is not allowed in remote configuration mode.

Setup

Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password (MULTITECH). Because anyone who has an owner’s manual knows the default setup password, for security you should change the password and possibly also the remote configuration escape character.

Changing the Remote Configuration Password

The remote configuration password can be changed only from the front panel of the modem:

1.Turn on the modem.

2.Starting at the STATUS LCD, press È È È Æ Æ È Æ to access the ENTER PASSWORD LCD.

3.To change the password, press ÇÅ or È to select the first character of the password, and then press Æ to go to the next character. Repeat until you have entered the entire password.

4.To cancel the new password, press Æ until the password is erased. To save the new password, press the Enter button. The next time you remotely configure the modem you must use the new password.
