4.1.2Remote Configuration

The Remote Configuration feature is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems remotely. This means you could configure modems anywhere in your network from one location without having to visit the sites or rely on remote users to follow your instructions. With Remote Configuration, which is protected by two level security, you can downline load new parameters, program new V.42 capabilities and implement new features. Remote Configuration also makes troubleshooting a remote location a lot easier.

The way Remote Configuration works is that S-Register S13 has been set- up to contain the special Remote Configuration escape code. When calling a Remote Configuration equipped modem, you enter the proper Remote Escape code to enable entering your Set-up Password. After entering it, you can then execute AT commands as if you were connected locally. If you set S-Register S13 to zero, Remote Configuration is disabled.

4.1.3Remote Configuration Procedures

The procedures for using the Remote Configuration features are the same whether or not a call originates from the remote modem. Once the modem is on-line, perform the procedure below.

1.Remote Escape Configuration requires %%%<CR> to be sent if the default value in S-Register S13 has not been changed. The modem responds with:

1.- DATA Mode

2.- COMMAND Mode

2.You then select 1 or 2. With 1, the modem goes back into data mode and with 2, the modem responds with the following:

Password>

3.Enter your Set-up Password, and if the code is correct the modem responds with:

OK
