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.
