Chapter 4 - AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes

S-Registers

Certain modem values, or parameters, are stored in memory locations called S-registers. Use the S command to read or to alter the contents of S-registers (see previous section).

0, 1–255

1

Sets the number of rings until the modem answers. ATS0=0

 

 

 

 

disables autoanswer completely.

S1

1 ring

33–127

 

Values greater than 32 disable backspace.

S6

seconds

2–65*

2*

Sets the time the modem waits after it goes off-hook before it

 

 

 

 

begins to dial the telephone number.

S7

seconds

1–255*

50*

Sets the time the modem waits for a carrier signal before

 

 

 

 

aborting a call. Also sets the wait for silence time for the @

 

 

 

 

dial modifier.

S8

seconds

0–65

2

Sets the length of a pause caused by a comma character in

 

 

 

 

a dialing command.

S9

decimal

0, 1–127

37 (%) Sets ASCII code for remote configuration escape character.

 

 

 

 

S9=0 disables remote configuration.

S10

100 ms

1–254

20

Sets how long a carrier signal must be lost before the

 

 

 

 

modem disconnects.

S11

1 ms 5

0–150*

95*

Sets spacing and duration of dialing tones.

S28

decimal

0, 1–255

1

0 disables, 1–255 enables V.34 modulation.

S30

1 minute

0, 1–255

0

Sets the length of time that the modem waits before

 

 

 

 

disconnecting when no data is sent or received. A value of

 

 

 

 

zero disables the timer. See also the \T command

S35

decimal

0–1

0

0 disables, 1 enables the V.25 data calling tone, which allows

 

 

 

 

remote data/fax/voice discrimination.

S36

decimal

0–7

7

Specifies the action to take in the event of a negotiation

 

 

 

 

failure when error control is selected. (See S48.)

S37

decimal

0–19

0

Sets the maximum V.34 “upstream” speed at which the

 

 

 

 

modem attempts to connect.

0 = maximum modem speed

1 = reserved

2 = 1200/75 bps

3 = 300 bps

4 = reserved

5 = 1200 bps

6 = 2400 bps

7 = 4800 bps

8 = 7200 bps

9 = 9600 bps

10 = 12000 bps

11 = 14400 bps

12 = 16800 bps

13 = 19200 bps

14 = 21600 bps
