Setup

Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password (MTSMODEM). 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 Setup Password

1.Open a data communications program such as HyperTerminal.

2.In the terminal window, type AT#SMTSMODEM (or AT#Syyyyyy if you have replaced the MTSMODEM password with yyyyyy) and press ENTER. The modem responds with OK if the setup password is correct, and ERROR if it is wrong.

3.To change the password, type AT#S=yyyyyy, where yyyyyy stands for the password, and press ENTER. The password can include any keyboard character, and must be one to eight characters long. The modem responds with OK.

4.The new password is saved automatically. You can now either enter more AT commands or exit the data communications program. The next time you remotely configure the modem you must use the new setup password.

Note: You can only change the setup password locally; you cannot do it remotely. Also, passwords are case sensitive. The next time you enter the password, it must be in the same case as you set it up.
