Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration

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 (%). Setting S9 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 ATS9=n, where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration escape
character, then press ENTER.

3.

Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing ENTER.

4.

Type ATO to exit remote configuration.
