Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration

4.To cancel the new password, press until the password is erased. To save the new password, press the Enter button. The next time you remotely configure the modem you must use the new password.

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.
