B-14 Appendix B: Modem information
S registers
S registers are information storage areas inside the modem. The AT command set uses the S registers to configure modem
options. Some S registers have default settings. For normal modem operations, the default settings are usually adequate.
However, special circumstances may require you to change some defaults. To change or read the value of an S register, begin
the command with the letters
AT
.
To read the value of an S register:

Use the
ATS
r
?
command (
r
=register number 0-28).
For example, to read the value of S register 0, type
ATS 0 ?
and press
Enter
.
To change the value of an S register:

Use the
ATS r=n
command (
r
=register number 0-28,
n
=the new value you want to assign).
For example, to change the value of S register 0 to 20 rings, type
ATS 0 =2 0
and press
Enter
.
The following table lists the S Registers summary.
