S5 — Backspace Character

Range

0-32, ASCII decimal

Default

8 (Backspace)

Sets the character recognized as a backspace. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The modem will not recognize the Backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local communications software the Backspace character, an ASCII space character, and a second Backspace character; this means a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the Backspace character.

S6 — Wait

Time for Blind Dialling

Range

2-255 seconds

Default

2

Sets the length of time to pause after the modem goes off-hook and before the modem dials the first digit of the telephone number. The modem always pauses a minimum of 2 seconds even if the S6 register is set to a value less than 2 seconds. The "Wait for Dial Tone" call progress feature (W in the dial string) will override the value in register S6. If option X2 or X4 is in effect, this register is ignored.

S7 — Wait For Carrier After Dial

Range

1-255 seconds

Default50

Defines two delay times:

1.During call establishment, this register establishes the time that the local modem waits for carrier from the remote modem before hanging up.

2.Sets the length of time that the modem waits when the "Wait For Dial Tone" call progress feature (W in the dial string) is in effect.

S8 — Pause
