The command ER enables remote access to control and console modes through the remote support modem port. The command is only valid from the system console. ER allows you to set the remote access password, the number of password tries, and single or multiple access.

Using the ER command generates the following prompts:

The new access status settings do not take effect until you finally answer the change query with NO.

If, during the process of updating the access status settings, the AP encounters any unexpected or inappropriate input, it may respond with a combination of the following messages:

   Expecting "Y" or "N" (APERR 11)



   Expecting "S" or "M" (APERR 16)



   String was truncated to 24 characters. (APMSG 04)



   Your selection is outside of the legal range. (APERR 14)



   Command may not be executed by a remote user. (APERR 13)

Upon NVM failure, the following default values are used: remote disabled, multiple access mode, maximum fault limit = 3, no password required.
