Changing the Remote Escape Character

To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote config-
uration escape character. The remote 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 con-

figuration 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.
