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 MultiModemII modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.

The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is established by the local or the
remote MultiModemII modem.
1.
Establish a data connection with a remote MT5600BA-V.92 modem.
2.
Send three asterisks to initiate remote configuration. The remote modem responds:
Online Remote Access
Remote password:
3.
Type the remote configuration password, and then press E
NTER
. The default is “MULTITECH.” It is
not case-sensitive.
•
If the password is incorrect, the word
CONNECT
appears, and the local modem is returned to
online mode.
•
If the password is correct, an
>AT_
command prompt appears.
4.
Type AT commands to configure the remote modem. It is not necessary to precede the commands
with “AT.”
5.
When you have finished configuring the remote modem, type
*E
and press E
NTER
to exit remote
configuration mode and return to online data mode. You can now break the connection in the normal
way.
Note:
The dialing command is not allowed in remote configuration mode.

Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password (MULTITECH). Because anyone who has
an owner’s manual knows the default setup password, for security you should change the password and
possibly also the remote configuration escape character.
