3460 Fast’R

Configuring a Remote Modem (AT*RA)

You can set remote-modem parameter options and view remote-modem status from a local 3460 Fast’R with the AT*RA command. With this function, you can:

Set up remote modems from a central network administration facility

Monitor remote operation

Troubleshoot remote-modem application problems

Remote configuration with AT*RA uses the main data channel, temporarily halting data transmission. It is not available when either modem is in direct (AT*SM0), synchronous, or leased line mode.

Initiate a remote-configuration session from a local modem, using a communications application, as follows. Both modems must be set to the RA1 option.

Step

Stage

1.Establish a connection with the remote modem. Motorola recommends using a Reliable connection (AT*SM2 or AT*SM3)

2.Enter the remote-escape command to place the remote modem in escape mode.

The remote-escape command sequence is: guard time (AT&G, S-Register 42), remote-escape character sequence (S-Register 41), guard time.

The remote modem responds: RC ESTABLISHED.

3.If the remote modem has password security (AT*PE) enabled, enter the password: AT*ZIpassword.

4.Enter configuration or status commands.

Example: AT&V returns long-form status information.

The following commands are not supported in remote configuration mode: ATA, AT&T, ATD, ATH, action commands.
