Changing the Remote Escape Character
To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration 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 configuration escape character,
then press ENTER.
3.
Save the new value by typing AT&W and clicking ENTER.
4.
Type ATO<CR> to exit remote configuration.
