Changing the Remote Escape Character
To further improve 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.
Caution: 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.
Note: This command can be executed locally as well as remotely.
3.
Type
ATS9=n,
where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration escape character, then
press
Enter
.
4.
Save the new value by typing
AT&W
and pressing
Enter.
5.
Type
ATO
and press
Enter
to exit remote configuration.
