User Guide 78.
5 Remote Configuration 79 Introduction 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 MT5634ZBA or MT5634ZBAV modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.
User Guide 80 Setup Multi-Tech modems are shipped with a default setup password (MTSMODEM). Because anyone who has an owner’s manual knows the default setup password, for security you should change the password and possibly also the remote configuration escape character.
5 Remote Configuration 81 Changing the Remote Escape Character To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote config- uration escape character. The remote configuration escape character is stored in register S9 . The factory default is 37, which is the ASCII code for the percent character (%).

In the terminal window, type AT#SMTSMODEM (or AT#S xxxxxxxx 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.
6 Callback Security 87 • To turn off callback security, type AT#CBS0 and press ENTER. Callers no longer need a password to connect to the modem, the modem is unable to call them back, and the stored dialing com- mand locations 0–3 become available.
User Guide 88 2. In the terminal window, type AT#S xxxxxxxx , where xxxxxxxx is your password, and press ENTER. The modem responds with OK if the setup password is correct, and ERROR if it is wrong. 3. The default parity value for your modem is no parity ( AT#CBP0 ).
6 Callback Security 89 string, and press ENTER. The phone number must be preceded by DT, for tone dialing, or DP , for pulse dialing. The dialing string can also include other AT commands. Example: AT&Z0=+- ATM0DT5551212 . Up to 35 characters can be used.
User Guide 90 Calling Procedures Use the following procedures to call a modem that has callback security enabled. Note: Autoanswer must be enabled on the calling modem ( S0=1 ). Password-Only Callback Use this procedure when calling from a fixed location.
6 Callback Security 91 7. Type the same password that you used to initiate the call. You have three attempts to enter the password or be disconnected. 8.
User Guide 92 callback modem is unable to establish a connection, it tries again, up to the number of attempts specified by the #CBAn command. 6. After the modems reconnect, the following message reappears: Password> 7. Type the same password that you used to initiate the call.
6 Callback Security 93 5. After the delay specified by the #CBDn command, the callback mo- dem calls the extension that you entered after the + character. If the callback modem is unable to establish a connection, it tries again, up to the number of attempts specified by the #CBAn command.
User Guide 94 Callback Security Commands The following AT commands are used with callback security. Most can be entered only after the setup password has been entered.
6 Callback Security 95 Command: #CBFR Callback Failed Attempts Reset Values: n/a Default: n/a Description: Resets the number of failed callback password attempts to 0. It does not reset the number stored in nonvolatile memory. This command can be entered after the setup password has been entered and callback security is enabled.
User Guide 96 Command: #CBP n Callback Parity Values: n = 0, 1, or 2 Default: 0 Description: Sets parity for the callback security messages. The parity of the messages should match the parity of the computer the modem is attached to. This command can be entered after the setup password has been entered and callback security is enabled.
6 Callback Security 97 #CBS0 Disables callback security. With this command, the modem connects as if it did not have callback security. This command can be entered after the setup password has been entered. #CBS1 Enables local and remote callback security.
User Guide 98 Command: #S x Enter Setup Password Values: x = password (1–8 characters, case sensitive) Default: MTSMODEM Description: Enters the password used for callback security and remote configuration setup. This command allows the use of all callback security commands.
6 Callback Security 99 only after the setup password has been entered and callback security is enabled. Options: + Enables the caller to enter a new callback num- ber during password entry. The + character must be the first or second character in the command string.

User Guide 102.
7 Solving Problems 103 Introduction Your modem was thoroughly tested at the factory before it was shipped. If you are unable to make a successful connection, or if you experience data loss or garbled characters during your connection, it is possible that the modem is defective.
User Guide 104 If the power supply is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is plugged in and its power switch is on. Make sure the power supply module is firmly connected to the mo- dem and to the wall outlet or power strip.
7 Solving Problems 105 Try resetting your modem by turning it off and on. If you are using DOS or Windows 3.1 communications software, make sure the ini- tialization string includes &F as the first command, t o cancel any “leftover’ command that could affect the modem’s operation.
User Guide 106 To look for address or IRQ conflicts if you use Windows 3.1x, select File | Run in Program Manager, type MSD , and press ENTER. Then select Mouse , COM Ports , and IRQ Status and note the addresses and IRQs that are in use.
7 Solving Problems 107 The Modem Dials But Cannot Connect There can be several reasons the ZBA fails to make a connection. Pos- sibilities include • lack of a physical connection to the telephone line. • a wrong dial tone. • a busy signal. • a wrong number.
User Guide 108 If the modem reports BUSY, the other number might be busy, in which case you should try again later, or it might indicate that you have failed to add a 9, prefix to the phone number if you must dial 9 for an outside line.
7 Solving Problems 109 The Modem Disconnects While Online If you have Call Waiting on the same phone line as your modem, it can interrupt your connection when someone tries to call you.
User Guide 110 The Modem Cannot Connect When Answering Autoanswer might be disabled. Turn on autoanswer in your data- comm program or send the command ATS0=1 ( ATS0=2 if you have Caller ID service) to your modem in terminal mode. File Transfer Is Slower Than It Should Be You might have an older UART.
7 Solving Problems 111 Data Is Being Lost If you are using data compression and a high speed serial port, set the serial port baud rate to four times the data rate.
User Guide 112 connecting at a slower speed or disabling error correction. (With no error correction, however, line noise can cause garbage characters.
