6. Remote Configuration and
Country Code Configuration
6.1. 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 modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.
6.1.1. Basic Procedure
The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is
established by the local or the remote modem.
1. Establish a data connection with a remote 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
. Press [Enter].
5. Type ATO. Press [Enter] to exit remote configuration. You can now
break the connection.
6.1.2. Setup
MT5634/MT9234 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.
