Configuring a Remote Modem (AT * RA)
You can set remote-modem parameter options and view remote-modem
status from a local 3460 Fast’R with the AT*RA command. With this
function, you can:
• Set up remote modems from a central network administration
facility
• Monitor remote operation
• Troubleshoot remote-modem application problems
Remote configuration with AT*RA uses the main data channel,
temporarily halting data transmission. It is not available when either
modem is in direct (AT*SM0), synchronous, or leased line mode.
Initiate a remote-configuration session from a local modem, using a
communications application, as follows. Both modems must be set to
the RA1 option.
Running a Remote Configuration Session
Step Stage
1. Establish a connection with the remote modem. Motorola
recommends using a Reliable connection (AT
* SM2 or AT * SM3)
2. Enter the remote-escape command to place the remote modem in
escape mode.
The remote-escape command sequence is: guard time (AT&G,
S-Register 42), remote-escape character sequence (S-Register 41),
guard time.
The remote modem responds: RC ESTABLISHED.
3. If the remote modem has password security (AT * PE) enabled, enter
the password: AT * ZIpassword.
4. Enter configuration or status commands.
Example: AT&V returns long-form status information.
The following commands are not supported in remote configuration mode:
ATA, AT&T, ATD, ATH, action commands.
