3.4.2 Installing the Access Codes
To install or change an access code it will be necessary to connect a PC directly to the
modem via the PC serial port and the RS232 data connector. Use the MODEM-PC9-
CAB or suitable lead and run your terminal software.
1)
Installing for the first time
!
The factory default setting is no user code set.
!
To install your user code for the first time use the following command:
AT%ACU = *,<new code> [Enter]
!
(Where the new code can be one to eight characters long)
2)
Changing the user code
!
To change the user code you will require either the current user or
administrator codes and use the following command:
AT%ACU = <current code>,<new code> [Enter]
!
The modem will respond with
OK
(when accepted) or
ERROR
(when current code is incorrect)
!
Current code may be either the user or administrator codes.
3)
Disabling the user code
!
To disable the user code enter * in the new code field and the current code in
the following command:
AT%ACU = <current code>,* [Enter]
!
The modem will respond with
OK
(when accepted) or
ERROR
(when current password is incorrect)
!
Current code may be either the user or administrator codes.
4)
Changing the administrator code
!
To change the administrator code you will need to know the current
administrator code (default = ADMIN) and use the following command:
AT%ACA = <current admin code>,<new admin code > [Enter]
!
The modem will respond with
OK
(when accepted) or
ERROR
(when current admin code is incorrect)
!
Current admin code must be the administrator code.
NOTE
: The codes are not case sensitive as all codes are converted to upper case.
Also, the administrator code cannot be disabled.
5)
In case of problems
In the unfortunate event that the password has been lost or the modem has been
sabotaged, contact your supplier for assistance. It may be possible to return the
password back to the original factory setting.
