You are close. There is a DTMF command that will activate the RS-232 connection:
"Remote Activation Of The RS-232 Port
To activate the RS-232 port, key-up and enter the control operator prefix code
followed by [97].? Un-key and the CAT-1000B will automatically switch to the computer
terminal programming mode.? This RS-232 port is configured for a baud rate of 4800."
What I'm not sure about is if sending it again will take it out of programming mode or if it will time out and come out on it's own.
The other thing I am curious about, once the controller programmed, is there that much that you really need to keep doing a full programming for??? You can make changes by DTMF commands.

This may not work on the CAT1000. I believe that you need to turn the
CT1000 off, operate DIP switch 8, then turn the CAT1000 back on the
activate the RS232 connection.

Have you tried doing a packet RF link to the controller? Just a
