MINI-MODEM V.92
6. Remote Configuration
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 modem for
maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.
6.1 Basic Procedure
The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is established by
the local or the remote modem.
NOTE
For this procedure, the remote computer must be running, and a
communication program must be ready for a data connection, which will
be indicated by a lighted TR indicator on the front of the modem.
1. Establish a data connection with a remote Mini-Modem V.92.
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. Type AT commands to configure the remote modem.
4. When you have finished configuring the remote modem, save the new
configuration by typing AT&W0 and pressing ENTER.
5. Type ATO and press ENTER to exit remote configuration. You can now
break the connection in the normal way.
6.2 Setup
The Mini-Modem V.92 is shipped with a default setup password (MTSMODEM).
Because anyone who has the user guide knows the default setup password, you
should change the password and possibly also the remote configuration escape
character.
