38 S registers
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 usu-
ally 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. Not all of the S registers are listed here.
To read the value of an S register:
• Use the ATSr? command (r=register number 0-28).
For example, to read the value of S register 0, type ATS0? and press Enter.
To change the value of an S register:
• Use the ATSr=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 ATS0=20 and press Enter.
