5 Remote Configuration

Introduction

Remote configuration is a network management tool that allows you to
configure modems anywhere in your network from one location. With
password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT commands
to a remote MT5634ZBA or MT5634ZBAV modem for maintenance or
troubleshooting as if you were on-site.

Basic Procedure

The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is
established by the local or the remote Multi-Tech modem.

1. Establish a data connection with a remote MT5634ZBA or

MT5634ZBAV modem.

2. Send three remote configuration escape characters followed by AT

and the setup password, and press ENTER. Example:
%%%ATMTSMODEM. You have four tries to enter the correct
password before being disconnected. If the password is correct, the
remote modem responds with

OK

3. You can now send AT commands to configure the remote modem.

4. When you have finished configuring the remote modem, save the

new configuration by typing AT&W0, then type ATO to
exit remote configuration. You can then break the connection in the
normal way.

CAUTION: If you hang up while you are in remote configuration
mode, it may lock up the remote modem.
