Changing the Remote Escape Character
To improve security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration escape character. The
remote configuration escape character is stored in register S13. The factory default is 42, which is the
ASCII code for the asterisk character (*). Setting S13 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 ATS13=n, where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration escape
character, and then press ENTER.
3. Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing ENTER.
4. Type ATO<CR> to exit remote configuration.
