Changing the Remote Escape Character
To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote config-
uration escape character. The remote configuration escape character is
stored in register
S9
. The factory default is 37, which is the ASCII code
for the percent character (%). Setting
S9
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 ATS9=
n
, where
n
is the ASCII code for the new remote con-
figuration escape character, then press ENTER.
3. Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing ENTER.
4. Type ATO<CR> to exit remote configuration.
