MultiModemZPX's Answering Machine Test

Test the MultiModemZPX's voice function by using the included software to set up the
MultiModemZPX as a telephone answering machine. Have a friend call and leave a
message; then play it back.

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 MT5634ZPX modem for
maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.

Basic Procedure

The following procedure is valid regardless of whether the connection is established by
the local or remote Multi-Tech modem.
1. Establish a data connection with a remote MT5634ZPX modem.
2. Send three remote configuration escape characters followed by AT and the setup
password. Then press ENTER. Example: %%%ATMTSMODEM, press the Enter
key. You have four attempts to enter the password correctly before being
disconnected. If the password is correct, the remote modem responds with OK.
Note: The default setup password for your Multi-Tech Modem is MTSMODEM.
Keep in mind, passwords are case sensitive.
3. You now can send AT commands to configure the remote modem.
CAUTION: Hanging up improperly while you are in remote configuration mode can
lock up the remote modem.
4. When you finish configuring the remote modem, save the new configuration by
typing AT&W0, press the Enter key. Then type ATO, followed by pressing the Enter
key to exit remote configuration. You can then break the connection in the normal
way.

Setup

Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password (MTSMODEM). For
security measures, you should change the password. As an added security measure,
also change the remote configuration escape character.
Changing the Setup Password
Caution: You can only change the setup password locally; you cannot do it remotely.
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 is 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.
