The new passwords are saved automatically. You may now either enter more AT commands or exit

new setup password.
Note: Passwords are case sensitive. The next time you enter the password, it must be in the same case as
you set it up.
Changing the Remote Escape Character
To increase security, you may wish to change the remote modem's remote configuration escape character.
The remote configuration escape character is stored in register S13 . The factory default is 37, which is the
ASCII code for the percent character (%). Setting S13 to 0 (zero) will disable 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 above.
2.
Type ATS13= n , where n is the ASCII code for the new remote configuration escape character, then press
ENTER.
3.
Save the new value by typing AT&W and pressing ENTER.
4.
Type ATO<CR>, then 1, to exit remote configuration.
