Remote Configuration

This mode of operation allows viewing or modifying the options of a remote modem that supports remote configuration. Remote configuration is performed using the front panel LCD or, more commonly, AT commands from the local terminal. Remote configuration is initiated by the local (master) modem through a proprietary protocol, a security code, and an acknowledgment from the remote (slave) unit to be modified. The security code is inserted and provides protection from unauthorized entry. The modems are shipped from the factory without a security code.
