Chapter 4 - Remote Configuration

Changing the Remote Escape Character

To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration escape character. The remote configuration escape character is stored in register S9. The factory default is 37, which is the ASCII code for the percent character (%). Setting S9 to 0 (zero) disables remote configuration entirely—but if you do this remotely, you won’t be able to change it back remotely!

1.Establish a remote configuration link with the remote modem as described in “Basic Procedure.”

2.Type ATS9=n, where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration escape character, then press ENTER.

3.Save the new value by typing AT&W and clicking ENTER.

4.Type ATO<CR> to exit remote configuration.
