Chapter 3 – Remote Configuration
Remote configuration is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems anywhere in
your network from one location. With password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT
commands to a remote MultiMobile Modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.
Basic Procedure
The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is established by the local or the
remote Multi-Tech modem.
1. Establish a data connection with a remote MultiMobile Modem.
2. Send three remote configuration escape characters followed by AT and the setup password, and
press
Enter. Example: %%%ATMTSMODEM. You have four tries to enter the correct password
before being disconnected. If the password is correct, the remote modem responds with
OK.
3. You can now send AT commands to configure the remote modem.
4. When you have finished configuring the remote modem, save the new configuration by typing
AT&W0 and pressing Enter.
5. Type ATO and press Enter to exit remote configuration. You can now break the connection in the
normal way.
Setup
Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password (MTSMODEM). Because anyone who has
the User Guide knows the default setup password, 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 can be up 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.
Caution: 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.
