Configuring a Remote Modem (AT*RA)
You can set remote-modem parameter options and view remote-modem
status from a local 3460 Fast’R with the AT*RA command. With this
function, you can:
• Set up remote modems from a central network administration
facility
• Monitor remote operation
• Troubleshoot remote-modem application problems
Remote configuration with AT*RA uses the main data channel,
temporarily halting data transmission. It is not available when either
modem is in direct (AT*SM0), synchronous, or leased line mode.
Initiate a remote-configuration session from a local modem, using a
communications application, as follows. Both modems must be set to
the RA1 option.
