ATCommands

AT#A Universal Remote Access

This command allows a controlling modem to take control of a remote modem. All commands of the remote modem(s) are available to the controlling modem, with the exception of the Test commands. (DES keys can be changed and will take effect from the next connection made to the modem.)

To initiate remote access, the user of the controlling modem should:

Type: **** (the remote access sequence)

(with 1.0 sec guard time before and after the ****)

If #A2 has been set, after receiving the remote access sequence, the remote modem will send back a request to enter password. The password it is expecting is its security menu password (see #S command). If no password has been defined, remote access is disabled.

If the password you type is incorrect, the following message appears: Incorrect. Please try again

You must re-initiate the remote access by typing the remote access sequence again before you can re-type the password.

If the password you type is correct, the following message will be displayed: Remote control enabled

To terminate the remote control, the user of the controlling modem should, while in on-line state:

Type: ATO <E>

Guard time can be adjusted by changing the value in S Register 66 (default 1 second). The remote access character is specified in S Register 67. The default value is 42 — the asterisk (*) character.

AT#A2 is only available if your modem supports the security menu (#S).
