Chapter 6 – Remote Configuration
Remote configuration allows you to configure your modem 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.

Configuring a Remote Modem

Use the following steps when you have established a connection by the local or the remote modem.
Note: The remote computer must be running and a communication program must be ready for a data
connection.
1. Establish a data connection with the remote modem.
2. Send three remote configuration escape characters followed by AT and the setup password, and press Enter.
For 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. Send AT commands to configure the remote modem. Refer to the
4. 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.

Changing the Setup Password

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.
1. Open a data communications program such as HyperTerminal.
2. Type AT#SMTSMODEM (or AT#Sxxxxxxxx if you have replaced the MTSMODEM password with xxxxxxxx) and
press Enter. The modem responds with OK if the setup password is correct and ERROR if it is wrong.
3. Type AT#S=xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx stands for the password, and then press Enter. The password can
include any keyboard character, and can be up to eight characters long. The modem responds with OK. The
new password is saved automatically.
Caution: Passwords are case-sensitive.
