&Zn=s

Write the following dial string (s) to NVRAM at position n (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3).

&Zn?

Display the phone number stored in NVRAM at position n (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3).

%$

Help percent command summary request.

%A=

Set up the host security account. The %A= command is automatically written to NVRAM and does not require an &W command.

You must specify two fields:

• The account password.
  
  

  This identifies the host security account. It can be up to eight characters (ASCII characters 32-127) and is case sensitive.

• Prompt for phone number (Y/N).
  
  

  Y indicates that the host modem will prompt the remote user to enter a phone number; the host modem disconnects and then dials back. N indicates that no prompt will be made.

  The fields are entered after the equal sign, separated by a comma, as in the following example for an account with the password BILL and dialback prompting enabled.

%Bn

Configure the serial port rate during a remote access session.

%B0 110 bps

%B1 300 bps

%B2 600 bps

%B3 1200 bps

%B4 2400 bps

%B5 4800 bps

%B6 9600 bps

%B7 19200 bps

%B8 38400 bps

%B9 57600 bps

%B10 = 115200 bps

%Cn

Configuration control during remote access session.

%C0

Defer configuration. This is the default setting. Configu-ration changes are deferred until the call is ended, and take effect for subse-quent connections. This command does not have to be entered; it is the default unless one of the following %C values is entered.

%C1

Restore configuration. Use this command to cancel any configuration changes made during remote access and restore the original configuration. However, commands that have been written to NVRAM (with &W) will not be restored to their previous settings. Additionally, if immediate config-uration changes are forced (with %C2), those changes cannot be reversed with %C1.

%C2

Execute configuration. Forces configuration changes to take effect immediately, during the current connection. Do not force immediate configuration changes unless absolutely necessary, as this may result in an unreliable connection or even a loss of connection.

%CNn=s

Sets the Carrier Access Code number, where n is a position in NVRAM (from 1-3) and s is a numeric string containing from 1 to 10 digits. This code allows programming of Dialed Number Indicate Service or Automatic Number Indicate, a service offered by the telephone company.

%CIn=s

Sets the carrier access code-associated initialization string, where n is a position in NVRAM (1, 2, 3, or 4) and s is a configuration string of up to 30 characters. Do not include the AT attention prefix in the initialization string.

%CNn=s and %CIn=s allow you to configure a stored initialization string feature in the quad modems. First, define up to three full or partial telephone numbers that may be dialed to access the modem, using the AT%CNn=s command. An initialization string (without the AT command prefix) can then be associated with the carrier access code num-ber by using the AT%CIn=s command. Four initialization strings may be stored: three of them to match the carrier access code of a specified carrier access code number, and the fourth to be executed if the modem receives an unknown carrier access code (no full or partial match).

When a call comes in, the quad modem compares the number dialed against the defined carrier access code numbers. An initialization string is then used to configure the modem to answer the call.

The carrier access code numbers defined, with their associated initialization strings, can be viewed by entering the ATI9 command.

The quad modem identifies the carrier access code on incoming calls by returning special RING result codes, as follows.

• 
  
  o DNIS or ANI information received: RING (normal).
  
  
• Only DNIS information received: RING/5 (where 5 is the DNIS number).
  
  
• 
  
  NI and DNIS information received: RING/5/5551212 (where 5 is the DNIS and 5551212 is the ANI).
  
  
• Only ANI information received: RING//5551212 (where two slashes indicate no DNIS, and 5551212 is the ANI).
  
  

The CAC associated with the last call received is displayed on the current settings screen (obtained by issuing the command ATI4), as follows:

%Dn

Toggle between analog and digital modes (quad analog/digital modems only).

%D0

Analog mode. A digital only modem returns an error if sent this command.

%D1

Digital mode. An analog-only modem returns an error if sent this command. When set to %D1, the modem displays the message "DCE=Digital (DS0)" on the I4 command screen to indicate that the modem has been configured for digital and is linked with the T1 NAC. If no T1 link has been established, the modem displays the message "DCE=Digital (DS) ?" It may take up to 30 seconds to establish a T1 link. If this message persists, there is either no T1 module is present, or there is a hardware problem.

%E=n

Use the %E=n command to edit the link security configuration, where n = 1, 2, 3, or 4.

%E=1

Erase local access password.

%E=2

Erase autopass password.

%E=3

Erase password account.

%Pn?

Display the password stored at position n (n = 0 or 1).

%S=

Access link security settings by entering the local access password.
