Black Box 3600 MODEM manual Register Operation Sn?, Sn?, Changing Register Values Sn=v, Sn=v

Status Registers

S-Register Operation Sn?, Sn?^

Enter ATSn? to read a register value, where n=register number for a decimal value or ATSn?^ for a hexadecimal value.

For example, to determine the current backspace character enter

ATS5?

The screen will show the ASCII value of the backspace character stored in register S5.

Changing Register Values Sn=v, Sn=^v

To change an option using ATS commands requires the operator to precalculate the revised decimal (or hexadecimal) total.

Note

Because of the chance of miscalculating the bit sum, causing unplanned option changes, writing to an S-register is discouraged. For operators who prefer this method of option selection a much simplified command that eliminates the decimal calculation is explained in the “Individual Bit Command Sn . # =v” section on pa ge10-4.

To change a register value, enter

ATSn=v

where n = register number and v = decimal value, or enter

ATSn=^v

where ^v = hexadecimal value.

Note

Not all registers can be set by the ATSn=v (or ^v) command. Some registers are for reference only.

To change the escape character from + to the Esc key (ASCII value of 27) enter

ATS2=27

To return the modem to the command mode press the Esc key three times:

(pause) Esc Esc Esc (pause)
