COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS

REMOTE ACCESS OPERATIONS

You can set a Courier modem so that someone at a remote location can configure your modem.

This might be helpful if you have problems making a connection with another modem. For example, if you have trouble connecting with a bulletin board, you can allow the bulletin board operator to dial in to your modem and view its configuration settings. If necessary, the bulletin board operator can send the Courier a configuration string that will make it compatible with the bulletin board.

Another use might be for Dial Security administration when the system administrator is unable to be at the host modem site. It might be urgent, for example, to disable an account.

AT THE HOST COURIER SITE

There are two tasks required to set up remote access:

1.Set up password security.

2.Enable remote access.

Set Up Password Security

You can designate two passwords for remote access security, each allowing a different level of access to the remote user. You can assign one password that allows viewing privileges only, whereby the host Courier's configuration can be remotely viewed but not changed. You can assign another password that allows both remote viewing and configuration privileges.

Remote access passwords can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long, and are not case-sensitive.

%Pn Use the %Pn command to assign remote privileges.

%P0

Viewing privileges only

%P1

Viewing and configuration privileges
