Changing the Remote Escape Character
To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration escape character. The re-
mote 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—but 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.
Type ATS9=
n, where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration escape character, then
press ENTER.
3.
Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing ENTER.
4.
Type ATO<CR> to exit remote configuration.
