6. S-Registers
6.1 Introduction
Certain Command Mode configurations are stored in memory registers
called, S-Registers. The S command is used to assign a value to, and to
read the current value of an S-Register. 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”. To read an S-Register value,
enter the letter S followed by the S-Register number and a question
mark (?), then hit RETURN. To verify that the S-Register value was
entered correctly, enter for example, ATS8? and hit RETURN. You
should receive a response of the assigned value given to that S-Register.
Refer to Section 6.2, Reading and Assigning S-Register Values.
S0
Number of Rings Until Modem Answers
Unit: Rings
Range: 0-255
Default: 1
Description: S0 defines the number of rings the modem waits

the modem answers the call immediately after

that can be configured is 255. Setting the value
to zero (0) disables auto-answer completely.

Rings Which Have Occurred
Unit: Rings
Range: 0-255
Default: 0
Description: S1 counts the number of rings that have
occurred. It is a “read” type of register and is
