10. S-Registers

The S-Registers are used to store modem configuration parameters, display modem status, and

initiate modem test and diagnostic functions. In order to invoke commands to change or

display the contents of the S-Registers, you must first access the modem command mode as

described in Section 9.1. Note the following:

·

View Status Screen: To display the modem status screen (Figure 9.1), which lists the

current values assigned to most

S-Registers, type AT&V and press [Enter].

·

View S-Register Value: To display the value currently assigned to a specific S-Register,

type ATSr? and press [Enter] (Where r is the desired S-Register).

·

Change S-Register Value: To change the value assigned to an

S-Register, type ATSr=n and press [Enter] (Where r is the desired S-Register, and n is the

desired value).

·

Bit Mapped Registers: Some registers control more than one function. If you wish to

enable several of these functions, add up the decimal values of the desired functions, and

enter the total as the value of the S-Register.
