Setup
Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password
(MTSMODEM). 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.
Changing the Setup Password
1. Open a data communications program such as HyperTerminal.
2. In the terminal window, type AT#SMTSMODEM (or AT#Syyyyyy if
you have replaced the MTSMODEM password with yyyyyy) and
press ENTER. The modem responds with OK if the setup password
is correct, and ERROR if it is wrong.
3. To change the password, type AT#S=yyyyyy, where yyyyyy stands
for the password, and press ENTER. The password can include any
keyboard character, and must be one to eight characters long. The
modem responds with OK.
4. The new password is saved automatically. You can now either enter
more AT commands or exit the data communications program. The
next time you remotely configure the modem you must use the new
setup password.
Note: You can only change the setup password locally; you cannot do it
remotely. Also, passwords are case sensitive. The next time you enter
the password, it must be in the same case as you set it up.
