Motorola V.3600 manual Changing S-Register Values

Status Registers

Figure 10-1 shows how the inputs to an S-register (S22 in this example) are used to select a particular option. Bits 3 and 2 of S22 control speaker options. Some communication software packages may use the AT command set. For example purposes, bit values are arbitrary.

Bit values for S-registers must not be confused with the total register value. Bit values are counted separately for each option group, called bit mapping, while the register value is the cumulative decimal or hexadecimal total. The decimal value counts all eight bits as a single group. Hexadecimal values split the bits into two groups of four each. Writing to an S-register changes the total value. Figure 10-2 shows the difference between decimal calculation and hexadecimal calculation.
