6.4 Remote Configuration and Callback Security AT Commands
When you have callback security enabled for the modem, anyone trying to connect with the modem
will be required to furnish a password. The
#CBN
command allows you to enter passwords for each
of the 30 memory locations used for callback security. The length of each password can be up to 10
characters, but must be at least 6 characters. Any ASCII character can be used.
The format for this command is
AT#CBNyyxxxxxxxx
<CR> with
xxxxxxxx
representing the
password and
yy
being the memory location (0-29). Each callback password (
xxxxxxxx)
must start
with a non-numeric character.
Callback Security Enable/Disable #DB
The purpose of this command is to enable or disable (default setting) your modem's callback security
option. Once this command is executed, you modem will undergo some significant changes. For
example, the phone number memory locations (N0 through N9) will be used for passwords and
phone numbers. In other words, you will not be able to dial from memory or use the DTR dialing
feature.
You can turn on callback security by typing AT#DB1 or AT#DB2 and pressing <CR>. If you want to
engage both remote and local password security, use the
#DB1
command. This sets up the modem
so you have to provide passwords to dial into the modem and to dial out. For remote password
security only, use the
#DB2
command. This allows the local operator to dial out without providing the
LOGIN and SETUP passwords. Use
#DB3
when calling another modem with callback security active.
Change LOGIN Password #I
The default LOGIN password for your modem is
"MULTI-TECH"
. If you choose to activate callback
security, you should change the LOGIN password using this command in the following format:
AT#Ixxxxxxxxxx<CR> (where
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
is the current LOGIN password). Your modem will
respond with
"OK"
, indicating that you can enter the new LOGIN password as follows:
AT#I=yyyyyyyyyy<CR>
You can select any combination of keyboard characters (upper/lower case sensitive) between six
and ten characters long.
