Changing the Remote Escape Character

To improve security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration escape character. The
remote configuration escape character is stored in register

S13. The factory default is 42, which is the

ASCII code for the asterisk character (*). Setting

S13 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 ATS13=

n, where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration

escape character, and then press E

NTER

.

3. Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing E

NTER

.

4. Type ATO<CR> to exit remote configuration.
