CHAPTER 6: Remote Configuration
2. In the terminal window, type AT#SMTSMODEM (or AT#Sxxxxxxxx if you have
replaced the MTSMODEM password with xxxxxxxx) and press ENTER. The
modem responds with OK if the setup password is correct, and ERROR if it is
wrong.
3. To change the password, type AT#S=xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx stands for the
password, and then press ENTER. The password can include any keyboard
character, and can be up to eight characters long. The modem responds with
OK.
CAUTION
Passwords are case-sensitive. The next time you enter the password, it
must be in the same case as you set it up.
4. The new password is saved automatically. You can now either enter more AT
commands or exit the data communications program. The next time you wish
to set up the modem, you must use the new password.

To further improve security, you can change a remote modem’s remote
configuration escape character either locally or remotely. 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
Section 6.1
.
2. Type ATS9=n, where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration
escape character, and then press ENTER.
3. Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing ENTER.
4. Type ATO and press ENTER to exit remote configuration.
