Remote Configuration

Remote configuration is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems anywhere in
your network from one location. With password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT
commands to a remote MT5634ZPX modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.

Basic Procedure

The following procedure is valid regardless of whether the connection is established by the local or
remote Multi-Tech modem.

1. Establish a data connection with a remote MT5634ZPX modem.

2. Send three remote configuration escape characters followed by AT and the setup password.

Then press ENTER. Example: %%%ATMTSMODEM, press the Enter key. You have four at-
tempts to enter the password correctly before being disconnected. If the password is correct,
the remote modem responds with OK.
Note: The default setup password for your Multi-Tech Modem is MTSMODEM. Keep in
mind, passwords are case sensitive.

3. You now can send AT commands to configure the remote modem.

CAUTION: Hanging up improperly while you are in remote configuration mode can lock up the
remote modem.

4. When you finish configuring the remote modem, save the new configuration by typing AT&W0,

press the Enter key. Then type ATO, followed by pressing the Enter key to exit remote con-
figuration. You can then break the connection in the normal way.
