Status Registers

Autoanswer — S0

This register turns the autoanswer option on or off. Set the register to 0 to turn autoanswer off.

Set the register to any value other than zero (1-255) to turn autoanswer on. The number selected is the ring count the modem answers on. For example, if S0 equals 4, the modem answers the call on the fourth ring. The default value is 1.

Ring Count — S1

This register contains the ring count for a current incoming call and should not be changed. If you are developing communications software, the program can read the register to determine the ring total.

Escape Character — S2

The standard escape character is a + sign (ASCII value of 43). To change the character, set S2 to the desired ASCII value (0-127). To disable the escape command, set S2 to any value greater than 127 (128-255).

End-of-Line Character — S3

The standard end-of-line character is the carriage return (ASCII value of 13). This character ends each command as it is sent to the modem. It is also sent by the modem after each status message or number code. To change the character, set S3 to the desired ASCII value (0-127).

Line-Feed Character — S4

The standard character is the line feed (ASCII value of 10). This character is sent by the modem after each status message. To change it, set S4 as desired (0-127).

Backspace Character — S5

The standard character is the backspace (ASCII value of 8). To change it, set S5 to the desired value (0-127).

Pause Before Dialing — S6

When dial tone detection is disabled (command X, X1, or X3 in effect), the modem waits the number of seconds (0-255) stored in this register before dialing. The default value is 2 (seconds).
