3.4 Remote Configuration and Diagnostics
Most of the configuration features of the 455U-D modem can be accessed remotely over the radio
network. Remote configuration is accessed by connecting to the RJ-45 configuration port on the
local modem, and using either the configuration software or AT commands. Refer to section
3.3.1 for information on setting up the PC Com port.
Before attempting to use this function, ensure that remote
configuration and diagnostics is enabled at the remote
modem. This selection is found under the “Modem” tab in the
configuration package or use Hayes command AT#A1. If a
password is configured at the remote site, ensure that this is
known.
To access the configuration and diagnostics of a remote
modem, first make a “connection” from the local 455U-D
unit to the other unit. Right-click on the unit in the left-
hand menu of the Configuration program - in the diagram,
Unit 1 is the local modem.
Select “Add Connection” and then enter the address of the
destination unit, including any repeaters.
In this example, the destination address is 3.
After creating a connection, you need to create
an “Association” with this module. Right-click
the Connection on the left-hand menu and select
“Associate” - the modules which have been
entered into the system file are shown. Select the
module which relates to this remote connection.
In this example, connection “3” is associated
with “Unit 3”.
Once the Association is made, right-click the
Associated connection and select “Remote
configuration”. Make sure that you are
connected to the second RS232 port (RJ45
connection).
If the remote modem is configured to request a
password (AT#P command) the password will
be requested at this point.
