If password security is not active (no passwords have been set
or both passwords are disabled), the modem automati
cally
enters Remote Access mode and the remote prompt appears on
the remote caller's screen.
REMOTE->

Once the remote access session has been established, keep i n
mind that there is a 3 minute inactivity timer. If the modem
detects no activity for 3 minutes, it aborts the remote access
session and resumes a normal online connection.
Aborting the Request for Remote Access
If you want to abort the remote access login before you have
entered the password, return online by pressing Ctrl-C or typing
ATO <Enter>.
Remote Viewing and Configuration
Once you've gained remote access, you can send AT commands
and receive inquiry displays as if you were connected directly to
the modem. If you have read-only privileges, you can use any of
the inquiry (I
n
) commands. If you have read/write privileges, you
can configure modem parameters.
When you make remote configuration changes, the remote prompt
is altered to indicate that changes have been made. The prompt
will change from:
REMOTE->
to
>
By default, configuration changes do not take effect until the
connection is terminated (see %C
n ). However, the new configu -
ration is immediately reflected on the information screens (ATI
n
).
