6.2 Reading and Assigning S-Register Values
The
S
command is used to assign a value to, and to read the current
value of, an S-Register. To read an S-Register value, enter the letter
S
followed by the S-register number and a question mark (?), then hit
RETURN. For example, entering
RETURN. For example, entering
ATS7?
and hitting RETURN displays
the value of S-Register S7 in a 3-digit decimal form. The number 8
would appear as 008, the number 30 would appear as 030, and the
number 255 would appear as 255.
would appear as 008, the number 30 would appear as 030, and the
number 255 would appear as 255.
To assign a value to an S-Register, enter the letter
S
followed by the
S-Register number and an equals sign (=), and then a decimal response
to the message “ENTER THE NEW VALUE IN DECIMAL FORMAT”.
Convert all ASCII characters to their decimal equivalents before
entering them. S-Register decimal values range from 0-127 for ASCII
characters, or 0-255 for numeric values.

6.2.1 Examples of Assigning Values
1.
Let’s say you wish to have longer pauses caused by the comma in a
dial command; five seconds instead of two. Entering
dial command; five seconds instead of two. Entering
ATS8=5
assigns 5 as the value for S-Register S8 (meaning the modem
pauses five seconds for a comma in a dial command).
pauses five seconds for a comma in a dial command).
2.
In a second example, let’s say that you wish to configure the Series
II Modem to answer incoming calls after the 30th ring instead of
after the first ring. To configure S-Register S0 with a value of 30,
enter
II Modem to answer incoming calls after the 30th ring instead of
after the first ring. To configure S-Register S0 with a value of 30,
enter
ATS0=30
and hit RETURN.
3.
In a third example, let’s say you are calling long distance to
another country code, and it is taking a long time to connect. The
S-Register S7 (Abort Timer) setting of 45 seconds, is insufficient.
The abort timer times out and cancels the call before a connection
is made. To change the S7 value to 55 seconds, enter Command
mode, then enter
another country code, and it is taking a long time to connect. The
S-Register S7 (Abort Timer) setting of 45 seconds, is insufficient.
The abort timer times out and cancels the call before a connection
is made. To change the S7 value to 55 seconds, enter Command
mode, then enter
ATS7=55
and hit RETURN. Now, after dialing,
the modem allows 10 more seconds for a carrier signal before
aborting the call. The additional 10 seconds should provide
enough time for international calls.
