PASSWORD ACCEPTED ===>> WAIT FOR CALLBACK
If the password entered does not correspond to the user number, the following message appears and your
Premier 56 modem allows two more retries.
WRONG PASSWORD, PLEASE RETRY
If the correct password is not entered after the third attempt, your Premier 56 modem issues the
following message, disconnects the call, and does not call back the remote modem:
WRONG PASSWORD, DISCONNECTING
Remote Configuration
Remote configuration allows a remote user to configure the Premier 56 modem. To perform remote
configuration, the remote user issues a sequence of three ASCII characters specified by Register S13.
The default character is the equal (=) sign. You can change the value of Register S13 to select a
different character, or specify a value greater than 127 for Register S13 to disable the remote
configuration. The following sequence describes the remote-configuration process.
The remote user makes a data connection with the Premier 56 modem. After the data connection is
made, the remote user types three equal signs without entering the AT prefix before the characters or
pressing the Enter key afterward. The following prompt appears for the remote user:
PASSWORD =>
The remote user enters the password. The default password is superuser and is not case-sensitive. For
security purposes, we recommend you change this default password (see “Changing the Security,
Superuser, and Remote Configuration Password” on page 16). Each password character typed appears as
an asterisk (*).
If the password entered is correct, the following message appears below the remote user’s PASSWORD
prompt (in the message below, RC means Remote Configuration):
RC ESTABLISHED
OK
The remote user can then issue AT commands and your Premier 56 modem will execute them. The only
AT commands that cannot be used during remote configuration are A, D, H, &T, and \B. Issuing these
commands results in an ERROR result code and the Premier 56 modem ignores the command. When the
remote user finishes configuring the Premier 56 modem, he types ATO and presses Enter to return to
Data Mode (a result code does not appear at either modem when they return to Data Mode). Data can
then be exchanged between the two modems.
Note: Entering remote configuration mode automatically enables Superuser mode; this means, the
