Pause
(,)
duration definition
To access an outside line through a PBX or when using a special telephone
service, the comma
(,)
is used to pause after dialing an access code. The value
of register
S8
determines pause duration for this comma. Defaulted to 2 se-
conds, it can be changed by inputting the desired number of seconds.
s9
The value of register
S9
determines the length of time (carrier duration) which
the Modem takes to recognize the carrier tone and go ON LINE.
As
the value
increases, the possibility of detecting a false carrier from noise decreases.
The default value of
S9
is set at 6 with the unit of 1/10 second
(0.6
seconds).
To change it, input the desired duration times 10.
DO
NOT confuse
S9
with the carrier tone wait time definition,
S7.
Carrier detect response time definition
s10
Carrier loss time definition
Register S10 decides how long the Modem waits for carrier before discon-
necting the line. When the Modem does not receive a carrier tone within the
time fixed by the S10 value, it disconnects the telephone line.
When you set the value to 255, the Modem assumes the carrier is always
present and ignores carrier detect. It is defaulted to
7
(0.7
seconds). To change,
input the desired number of seconds times 10.
s11
Touch-tone dialing speed definition
The value of S11 defines the duration and spacing of the tones during touch-
tone dialing. The default value of S11 is
70
in units of milliseconds. This
sets the dialing rate to 7.14 digits per second. The dialing rate of
5
(10) digits
per second can be obtained by applying the value 100
(50)
to S1 1
.
The mini-
mum value for reliable dialing is
50
and the maximum value is 255.
Register S11 does not affect the pulse dialing speed; it is fixed at 10 pps.
s12
The value of S12 determines the escape code guard time. This escape guard
time
is
specified to 20 minimum and 255 maximum in units
of
1/50 second.
The default value is
50,
that is, 1 second.
Beware that the small guard time you assign should be greater than the time
required to transmit one
of
the
3
escape characters.
