Serial Programming/Modems and AT Commands/S-Registers

S-Registers S0: Ring to Answer After Defines the number of ring bursts before the modem automatically answers an incoming call. When set to zero, auto-answer is disabled. S1: Ring Count (Read only) Counts the number of ring bursts received. Reset to zero after 8 seconds of no ring. S2: Escape Sequence Character Specifies the ASCII value of the character used in the escape code. (The escape code is the escape character entered three times in succession.) When the modem is in connect state and it receives the escape code, the modem enters command state. Setting register S2 to 128 or above disables the escape code character. S3: Carriage Return Character Specifies the ASCII value of the carriage return (CR) character. The carriage return terminates command lines and result codes. S4: Line Feed Character Specifies the ASCII value for the line feed (LF) character. The line feed character follows a carriage return at the end of long-form result codes. Short-form result codes are sent without line feeds. S5: Backspace Character Specifies the ASCII value for the backspace (BS) character that you can use to edit the command line. S6: Wait Before Blind Dialing Specifies the time the modem waits after going off-hook before it dials. This is a minimum of 2 seconds, even if register S6 is set to a value less than 2. Register S6 is used only when the X0, X1, or X3 command (Extended Result Codes) is set. S7: Wait for Carrier after Dialing Specifies the time that the modem waits for one of the following before hanging up: •Carrier from the remote modem when this modem is in originate or answer mode •Ringback, only when this modem is in originate mode, and only if X3 or X4 (Extended Result Codes) is set Register S7 is linked to register S37 so that the two registers share a single value. Changing the value of S7 changes the value of S37, and changing S37 changes S7. S8: Duration of Delay for Comma Dial Modifier This register contains the pause time of the (,) dial modifier used in the dial string. Consecutive commas will invalidate the modem's approval if the total pause period exceeds 12 seconds. S9: Carrier Detect Response Time This register contains the time period that a received carrier signal must be present for the modem to recognise it and turn on the DCD signal. S10: Delay Between Lost Carrier and Hang Up Specifies the time the modem waits before hanging up after loss of carrier. This waiting period allows the modem to recover from a temporary loss of carrier without breaking the connection. Modems at both ends of the connection should have the same values set. If the S10 values of the two modems are unequal, disconnection occurs when the lower value is reached. When register S10 is set to 255, the modem functions as if carrier were always present; it never hangs up due to loss of carrier. After disconnecting in originate mode, the modem waits a minimum of 5 seconds before going off-hook. S11: DTMF Multi-Frequency Tone Duration This register contains the time period of the duration and inter-digital pause of the DTMF dialling tones. S12: Escape Sequence Guard Time S18: Modem Test Timer S25: DTR Detection S26: RTS to CTS Interval S30: Inactivity Time-out S33: AFT Options S36: Negotiation Failure Treatment S37: Desired DCE Line Speed S38: Delay Before Forced Hang up S44: Asynchronous Framing Technique Selection S46: Error-Control Protocol Selection S48: Enabling/Disabling Feature Negotiation S49: ASB buffer size lower limit S50: ASB buffer size upper limit S53: Global PAD Configuration S63: Leased line carrier level S69: Link Layer Window Size S70: Maximum Number of Retransmissions S71: Link Layer Time-out S72: Loss of Flag Idle Time-out S73: No Activity Time-out S74, S75: Minimum Incoming Logical Channel Number (LCN) S76, S77: Maximum Incoming Logical Channel Number (LCN) S78, S79: Outgoing Logical Channel Number (LCN) S80: Packet Layer N20 Parameter S81: Packet Layer T20 Parameter S82: Break Signaling Technique S84: Adaptive start up negotiation (ASU) S85: ASU Negotiation Report S86: Connection Failure Cause S92: MI/MIC Options S93: V.25bis DTE interface speed S94: Command Mode Selector S95: Negotiation Message Options S97: V.32 Automode V.22/V.22bis Probe Timing
