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.
