Chapter 4 - Using Your Modem

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 (%). For more information on ASCII codes, refer to Appendix D.

1.Establish a remote configuration link with the remote modem as described in Basic Procedure on the previous page.

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

Caution: Setting S9 to 0 (zero) disables remote configuration entirely—if you disable remote configuration you will no longer be able to configure this device from a remote location!

3.To save the new value, type AT&W and press Enter.

4.Type ATO, then Enter to exit remote configuration.
