S-Registers: 3Com Modem User's Guide

To change a setting, use the ATSr=n command, where r is the register and n is a decimal value from 0 255 (unless otherwise indicated).

Register

Default

Function

S0

0

Sets the number of rings on which to answer in Auto Answer Mode. When set to 0, Auto Answer is disabled

S1

0

Counts and stores the number of rings from an incoming call. S0 must be greater than 0

S2

43

Stores the ASCII decimal code for the escape code character Default character is +
A value of 128 - 255 disables the escape code

S3

13

Stores the ASCII code for the Carriage Return character
Valid range is 0 - 127

S4

10

Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Line Feed character. Valid range is 0 - 127.

S5

8

Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Backspace character
A value of 128 or 255 disables the Backspace key's delete function

S6

6

Sets the number of seconds the modem waits before dialing If Xn is set to X2 or X4, this is the time-out length if there is not a dial tone

S7

60

Sets the number of seconds the modem waits for a carrier
May be set for much longer duration if, for example, the modem is originating an international connection

S8

2

Sets the duration, in seconds, for the pause (,) option in the Dial command

S9

6

Sets the required duration, in tenths of a second, of the remote modem's carrier signal before recognition by the modem

S10

14

Sets the duration, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits to hang up after loss of carrier. This guard time allows the modem to distinguish between a line disturbance from a true disconnect (hang up) by the remote modem.
Note: If you set S10 = 255, the modem will not hang up when carrier is lost. Dropping DTR hangs up the modem

S11

70

Sets the duration and spacing, in milliseconds, for tone dialing

S12

50

Sets the duration, in fiftieths of a second, of the guard time for the escape code sequence (+++)

S13

0

Bit-mapped register Select the bit(s) you want on and set S13 to the total of the values in the Value column
For example: ATS13 = 17 enables bit 0 (value is 1) and bit 4 (value is 16)

*The 1.5K-byte non-ARQ buffer allows data transfer with Xmodem- and Ymodem- type file transfer protocols without using flow control
The 128-byte option lets remote users with slower modems keep data you are sending from scrolling off their screens
The 128-byte option lets remote users with slower modems keep data you are sending from scrolling off their screens. When remote users send your computer an XOFF (Ctrl-S) and you stop transmitting, the data in transit from your modem's buffer does not exceed the size of their screen. This is also very helpful in situations when a remote modem/printer application is losing characters

Sets an optional delay, in seconds, before a forced hang-up and clearing of the Transmit buffer when DTR drops during an ARQ call. This allows time for a remote modem to acknowledge receipt of all transmitted data before it is disconnected. The modem immediately hangs up when DTR drops.
This option only applies to connections terminated by dropping DTR. If the modem receives the ATH command, it ignores S38 and immediately hangs up.
