CHAPTER 6: S-Registers

S16

Callback Attempts

Unit:

Attempts

Range:

1-255

Default:

4

Description:

S16 defines the number of attempts allowed

 

after initial passwords have been exchanged

 

between modems.

S17

Changing Break Time

Unit:

10-mSec intervals

Range:

0-250

Default:

250

Description:

S17 defines the break time (space) sent to the

 

local PC. The default is set for a 250-mSec

 

(2.5-second) break. The break time can be

 

changed in 10-mSec increments by increasing

 

or decreasing the value of S17.

S18

Automatic Leased Line Restoral (336+ Only)

Unit:

Minutes

Range:

10-255

Default:

30

Description:

When the Series II Modem 336+ (MD1640A) is

 

in dial backup mode, it periodically checks the

 

lease line to see if it is operational and tries to

 

restore the lease line if possible. S18 defines

 

how often attempts occur. The default of S18

 

is 30 minutes and can be set in one-minute

 

increments from 10 to 255 minutes. Setting the

 

S18 restoral under 10 minutes causes excessive

 

breaks in dial-up operation.
