S6 Wait Before Dialing

This register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem must wait (pause) after going off-hook before dialing the first digit of the telephone number. The modem always pauses for a minimum of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less that two seconds. The wait for dial tone call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6. This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country restrictions.

Range (All Countries): 2-65

Range (Japan): 3-65

Default (All Countries): 2

Default (Japan): 3

S7 Connection Completion Time-Out

This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up because carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes off hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of an answer tone if allowed by country restriction. The timer also specifies the wait for silence time for the @ dial modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with the W dial modifier.
