3.4 Remote Configuration and Diagnostics
Most of the configuration features of the 455U-D modem can be accessed remotely over the
radio network. Remote configuration is accessed by connecting to the RJ-45 configuration port
on the local modem, and using either the configuration software or AT commands. Refer to
section 3.3.1 for information on setting up the PC Com port.
Before attempting to use this function, ensure that remote configuration and diagnostics is
enabled at the remote modem. This selection is found under the “Modem” tab in the
configuration package or use Hayes command AT#A1. If a password is configured at the remote
site, ensure that this is known.
To access the configuration and
diagnostics of a remote modem, first
make a “connection” from the local
455U-D unit to the other unit. Right-
click on the unit in the left-hand menu
of the Configuration program - in the
diagram, Unit 1 is the local modem.
Select “Add Connection” and then
enter the address of the destination
unit, including any repeaters. In this
example, the destination address is 2.
After creating a connection, you need
to create an “Association” with this
module. Right-click the Connection on
the left-hand menu and select
“Associate” - the modules which have
been entered into the system file are
shown. Select the module which
relates to this remote connection. In
this example, connection “2” is
associated with “Unit 2”.
Once the Association is made, right-
click the Associated connection and
select “Remote configuration”. Make
sure that you are connected to the
second RS232 port (RJ45 connection).
If the remote modem is configured to
request a password (AT#P command)
the password will be requested at this
point.
