Factory setting is 08 (ASCII backspace).
S6 – Blind Dial Pause
Determines how long (in seconds) the modem waits after going off-hook before dialing a telephone number if using result
code X0, X1, or X3.
Enter a value from 2–255 seconds.
The factory setting is 2 seconds.
NOTE: The default and permitted settings of this option are country-dependent. See Appendix H.

received.

The factory setting is 45 seconds.

S10 – No Carrier Disconnect
Determines how long (in tenths of seconds) the modem allows the carrier signal to be Off before disconnecting the call.
Enter a value from 0–254 in 0.1 second increments. A value of 255 disables this register.
Factory setting is 20 (2 seconds).
NOTE: The default and permitted settings of this option are country-dependent. See Appendix H.
S12 – Escape Guard Time
Sets the value (in 20-millisecond increments) for the required pause before and after the escape sequence is issued. The
guard time prevents the modem from interpreting data as the escape sequence characters.
Enter a value from 0–255 in 20-millisecond increments. For example, the factory setting of 50 equals 1000 milliseconds or
one second. Factory setting is 50 (1 second).
