Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
The Data Modem you have purchased represents the latest state of the art in
data communication; its comprehensive facilities provide all you will need for
professional data transfer purposes. Due to the limitation this equipment
allows you to receive data with up to 54kbps from your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). The maximum transmission speed is 33.6kbps. Fax
transmission and reception is working up to 14.4kbps.
What is a Modem?
The word “Modem” is derived from the terms “MOD-ulator” and “DE-
modulator”. Putting it more simply, it is a device which modulates digital
information into an analogue carrier signal (tones) and demodulates the carrier
signals which it receives, changing them back into digital data. This permits
the transmission of data along wires, between data terminal equipment
(computers, terminals, etc…).
About this Modem
This modem operates as a full duplex, voice-band modem, where signal
transmissions are made in both directions simultaneously and the analogue
signals which are transmitted are in the voice-band of the telephone network.
Data transmission between modem and terminal unit is in serial form - in other
words, the individual data bits are sent, one after another, along a single
transmission or receiving line. At this stage, a word of explanation regarding
synchronous and asynchronous data transmission. In the synchronous mode,
additional synchronization signals are required, to synchronize the
transmission and reception signals. In the asynchronous mode
synchronization is by means of “start-bits” and “stop-bits” which mark the
beginning and end of each data word. The modem can dial by itself and also
react automatically to incoming calls. The information it needs in order to dial a
telephone number, together with the various configuration commands, are
provided by the respective data terminal equipment via the same serial
interface which is used to send the data. In this mode, the system operates
with the so-called “AT” command set.
INTRODUCTION 1-1
The 56K Technology

=> Now you can configure and use the modem with the communications-,
fax- and Voiceprograms.
Factory settings
To make it easier for you to use your modem, two basic settings have been
made at the factory, which are suitable for most of the connections. These
settings can be activated with the “&F” command. In the fax mode or voice
mode, the relevant software will carry out control of modem settings for you.
x For Data Transmissions select AT&F0. In this condition, the modem will
attempt to create an error-corrected connection with data compression,
depending on the capability of the remote side.
1-4 INTRODUCTION
Chapter 2 AT COMMANDS:
DATA MODEM
Guidelines for Using AT Commands
The modem is programmed with AT commands from the data terminal
equipment (computer, PC or terminal) and thus also receives instructions to
cover automatic dialing. The communications or fax software will carry out
most of these operations for you, so that in general circumstances you do not
need to have a detailed understanding of the commands which are described
below.
The modem must be in Command mode before it can accept commands. In
this condition, all the characters sent from the computer are interpreted as
commands and, where appropriate, confirmed by a modem message on the
screen. When a connection is set up to a remote modem, the modem will
switch to data mode and transfer all the characters it receives to the other
party.
The modem can be switched from an existing connection, back into the
command mode, by using the Esc Sequence (+++), without breaking off the
connection to the remote modem. In this status, any commands which are
entered will not be transferred to the remote modem.
The modem is activated by AT commands, the subsequent value of which will
modify the form of the command. Modem messages provide information on
the form of the commands.
In the Hayes Command Set, commands are entered by the character
sequence AT (at) and can also be entered as a list of commands with or
without spaces between the individual commands. The “Backspace” key is
used for deleting. Commands can be entered in upper-case or lower-case, but
all characters for a given command must use the same case. In the command
mode, the modem automatically recognizes data frames and data speed.
=> AT commands can be transferred to the modem at the following data
speeds: 115 200, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, and 1200 bps
Examples of Command Syntax:
ATX3<CR>
ATQ0<CR>
ATDT12345<CR>
Individual commands ending with the <CR> Enter key, can be entered in a
different manner with the same effect, by inserting as many spaces as you
need, to make the command easier to visualize
ATX3QODT12345<CR> or:
AT X3 Q0 DT 12345<CR>

AT - Attention Code
The AT (Attention) Code, which introduces each command line, can be
entered in upper-case or lower-case characters. Several commands
(separated by spaces if desired) can be positioned one after another, in one
line. A command line must end with the ASCII character which is stored in the
S3 or S4 Register (or with both together). The standard value for S3 is
Carriage Return (<CR>=13 decimal) and Line Feed (<LF>=10 decimal) for S4.
A command line without <CR>,<LF> will remain in the command buffer until
<CR>,<LF> is entered, or until the action is broken off with <Cntrl-X>. Once
<CR>,<LF> has been received, the modem carries out the commands
following the AT and answers with an appropriate modem message.
The maximum length of a command line is 40 characters. If the capacity of the
command buffer is exceeded, the modem issues an Error message.
=> The AT code enables the modem to recognize the speed, parity and
character length of the communication program
The ESC Sequence
If the modem has established a data connection, you can enter more
commands at any time, without breaking off the connection. This is achieved
by sending three ASCII characters (S2 Register) from the computer to the
modem. The standard setting is the “+” character. In order for this to be
interpreted as the ESC sequence, certain time limits must be observed in
entering the plus-characters. Before the first and after the last character, a
Guard time is required (the standard is 1 second) and the individual characters
must not be separated from each other by longer than this time period.
AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-3
A - Answer Mode
When the Acommand is entered, the modem switches to the “Off-Hook”
condition when ringing appears in the answer mode and takes over control of
the telephone line connected. In this way, the modem transmits in the upper
frequency band (upper channel).
If further commands are entered after the Acommand before a connection has
been made, the modem interrupts the establishment of a connection, switches
to command mode and issues a NO CARRIER message.
If no carrier is received from the remote station after the waiting time which is
set in the S7 Register, the modem responds with a NO CARRIER message
and returns to command mode. If the modem does receive the carrier signal, it
issues a CONNECT message and switches to Data mode.
=> If the handset is not replaced after the data transmission has been
completed, the connection remains online and you will continue to pay for this !
A/ - Repeat Last Command Line
The A/ command causes the modem to repeat the command line which is
stored in the command buffer, e.g. it will dial again, if the line is busy. This
command is entered without AT and no reply is issued.
=> A command line remains in the repetition buffer until the modem
receives a new command. The data format should not be modified in the
meantime.
B - BELL/CCITT Standard
The B command permits change-over between CCITT and Bell standards at
300 or 1200 bps. At 300 bps, this command will select between Bell 103 and
CCITT V.21, while at 1200 bps it will select between Bell 212A and CCITT
V.22.
ATB0 CCITT V.22, V.21
ATB1 Bell 212A, Bell 103 (factory setting)
=> The Bcommand refers only to connections at 300 or 1200 bps. All other
speeds use the CCITT standard.
2-4 AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM
D - Automatic Dialing and Dialing Parameters
The D command instructs the modem to go on-line and to dial. If this
command is entered without parameters, the modem will go on-line in
Originate mode. The following characters are authorized in the dialing
sequence:
0 - 9 The digits of the telephone number
P, T In the Dial command, these parameters switch to pulse-dialing (P) or
to tone-dialing (T) until the other parameter is entered. The standard
setting is tone-dialing.
WDialing tone recognition. When this parameter is entered, the modem
will not continue dial until it has recognized the sign that the line is
free. This is an advantage in branch exchanges, where it is not
always possible to guarantee immediate access to a line.
, Dialing pause (2 sec). This command may not be used in the dialing
sequence when the modem is supposed to wait for a new dial-tone.
The W-Parameter must be used in this case.
A-D,*,# Additional characters when tone-dialing
S=n Dialing number which is stored with &Zn
!Call exchange by Flash
;H Modem as automatic dialing device. Here, the dialing sequence is
terminated by a semi-colon, followed by the Hcommand. The
modem goes off-line after dialing and you can take over the
conversation using a telephone. The handset must be lifted during
the dialing process.
Example of how to set up a Dial Command
ATD T0, 02212971
With this, a private automatic branch exchange using tone-dialing dials zero, in
order to obtain an exchange line. The modem then waits two seconds to dial
the rest of the telephone number.
Example of the Automatic Dialing Function
ATD T0, 02212971;H
If you lift the handset during the dialing process, you can take over the
connection yourself.
=> Where appropriate, ask the manufacturer of your private automatic
branch ex-change what specific features need to be taken into account in the
dialing procedure
=> If the handset is not replaced after the data transmission has been
completed, the connection remains made and you will continue to pay for this!
AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-5
E – Echo Function
The E command determines whether the modem will issue an echo of the
command which is entered.
ATE0 Echo disabled
ATE1 Echo enabled (factory setting)
H – Switch Hook Control (Replace Handset) – Go "On Hook"
The Hcommand will break off the existing telephone line connection (the
modem “hangs up”) and the connection to the remote modem is cut off. After
the H command, any other commands in the same line are ignored.
=> This command can only be entered after an existing data link has been
quitted by using the Esc sequence.

&C0 State of carrier from remote modem is ignored. DCD is always on.
&C1 State of carrier from remote modem is tracked. DCD reflects the
state of the received carrier.
AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-9
&D – DTR (Data Terminal Ready) Option
This command controls how the modem responds to DTR. After toggling DTR,
the host should wait 200 ms before modifying the UART registers or sending a
new command to the modem. This is done because the modem does not send
an ’OK’ message to indicate it has performed the requested function.
AT&D0 In asynchronous mode (&Q0), the modem ignores DTR.
AT&D1 The modem switches from data mode to command mode when
an on-to-off transition of DTR occurs.
AT&D2 An on-to-off transition of DTR causes the modem to go on-hook
(hang-up). While DTR is off, auto-answer is disabled.
AT&D3 An on-to-off transition of DTR re-initializes the modem. The re-
initialize procedure performs the same function as a power-up
reset, except that the UART registers are not reconfigured.
&F – Loading the Factory Settings
This command loads command defaults and S-Register factory defaults into
the active configuration and configures the modem for data mode.

&G – Guard Tone
This command controls whether the modem sends out guard tones while
connected to a remote modem (for ITU-T V.22 bis {1200 bps} and V.22 bis
{2400 bps} connections only). Guard tones are sent by the answer modem to
disable Central Office echo cancelers.
AT&G0 Guard tone disabled (factory setting)
AT&G1 550 Hz guard tone enabled
AT&G2 1800 Hz guard tone enabled
&K – Select Serial Port Flow Control
This command specifies the DTE-to-modem flow control. Software flow control
uses the characters XOFF (13h) and XON (11h) to stop and start data
transmission, respectively, both to and from the DTE. Bi-directional hardware
flow control uses RTS/CTS to stop and start data from the modem
AT&K0 Disables flow control
AT&K3 Bi-directional hardware flow control - RTS/CTS
AT&K4 XON/XOFF software flow control
&S – DSR (Data Set Ready)
This command controls how the modem treats the DSR signal.
&S0 DSR circuit always on
&S1 DSR circuit is on during handshaking, off in test or idle modes. DSR
is off when the carrier is lost.
&T – Data Mode Self-Test Command
This command is used in data mode to initiate and terminate loopback tests for
testing modem-to-modem and DTE-to-modem data communication integrity.
AT&T0 Terminate test in progress
AT&T1 Local analog loopback.
AT&T4 Grants RDL request from remote modem
AT&T5 Denies RDL request from remote modem
AT&T6 Remote digital loopback
AT&T7 Remote digital loopback with self-test
AT&T8 Local analog loopback with self-test
=> You can use the Test Timer (Register 18) to end a test loop;
alternatively, once you have entered the Esc sequence (+++), you can enter
the command AT&T0.
AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-11
&V – View Active Configuration and Stored Profiles
This command causes the modem to display the command and S-Register
information contained in the active user profile and in one or two stored
profiles. The command &V0 displays the active profile and the stored profile 0;
&V1 displays the active profile and the stored profile 1. The information in the
active profile is stored into the user profiles with the &Wn command. &W0
stores the active profile into the stored profile 0; &W1, the stored profile 1.

&W – Storing a set Profile
The &Wn command is used to store a number of values of the S Register's
current configuration profile, in the non-volatile NVRAM. You can store two
different pro-files (n= 0, 1) and load these again by using the Zcommand.
&Y – Selecting a Start Configuration
The &Yn command is used to determine which of the non-volatile stored
profiles (&W command) will be active when the unit is switched on. The n
parameter (n= 0, 1) is used to select the profile required (factory setting is 0).
2-12 AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM
&Z – Telephone Number Storage
The modem can store up to 4 telephone numbers by using the AT&Zn=x
command (n= 0-3). These can be dialed automatically by the command
ATDS=n. Telephone numbers must not be more than 45 characters in length
(digits + dialing parameters).
For example: AT&Z2=T06897 123456
The telephone number T (tone dialing) 06897 123456 is stored in memory 2.
+MS – Select Modulation
This command sets the type of modulation used and the send and receive
speeds. Settings for Bn, +MS=m, Nn and S37 determine the allowable modem
connections. Nn performs the same function as the +MS=m <automode>
parameter. S37 performs the same function as the +MS=m <max rate>
parameter.
V.34 modulation connections can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. In
symmetrical connections, the transmit and receive speeds are the same; in
asymmetrical, they are different. Modems can be configured by the +MS=m
command to support only asymmetrical or symmetrical connections. The
factory default is for a 33,600-bps asymmetrical connection. Note that the
transmitter speed and receiver speeds typically are different for most V.34
connections over the PSTN.
The +MS command sets the modulation speeds in the V.34 chipsets; however,
to set the modulation to either V.22 or Bell 212, the B0 or B1 command also
must be sent. To set the modulation type to ITU-T V.22, send the B0
command; to set the modulation type to Bell 212, send B1. These commands
can be typed before or after the +MS command. For example, to set the
modulation to ITU-T V.22:
+MS = V22, 1, 1200, 1200; B0
To check the settings for the +MS command, type AT+MS?
m=<carrier>, <automode>, <min rate>, <max rate>
Defaults: m= V90, 1, 0, 0
<carrier> The eight-digit string parameter specifies the type of modulation
used. Approved codes are shown in the following table. The modem can
switch automatically between some types.

+MS – Modulation Selection:
<automode> When enabled this parameter allows the modem to negotiate
modulation speeds automatically (if an automatic value is defined for that
particular modulation). This feature is also controlled by the Nn AT command.
The automode setting is based on which command, Nn or +MS=m, was
issued last.
Range: <automode>=0, 1
Default:<automode>=1
<automode> = 0 Disabled
<automode> = 1 Enabled
<min rate> This parameter specifies the lowest data transfer rate at which the
modem may establish a carrier signal connection.

AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-15
\A – MNP Block Size
This command specifies the maximum number of data bytes in an MNP data
frame. A smaller size may improve throughput on high-impairment (noisy)
telephone lines.
AT\A0 Maximum block size is 64 bytes
AT\A1 Maximum block size is 128 bytes
AT\A2 Maximum block size is 192 bytes
AT\A3 Maximum block size is 256 bytes (factory setting)
\B – Sending a Break Signal
The \B command is used to send a Break signal to the remote modem (see \K
command). In order to enter the \B command, you must first return from the
existing data connection to the Command mode, using the Esc sequence. The
Break signal is fixed at 300 ms.
\C – Set Auto-Reliable Buffer
In auto-reliable mode (\N3), this command determines the fallback method and
enables data buffering. The settings for this command are used by the modem
during the V.42 detection phase.
AT\C0 Does not buffer data (factory settings)
AT\C1 Buffers data for four seconds or until 200 characters have been
buffered or the SYN character is detected, then switches to reliable
mode. If the buffer fills, data is passed to the serial port.
AT\C2 Does not buffer data. Switches to buffer (normal) mode upon receipt
of autoreliable fallback character and passes it to serial port. This
feature allows non-V.42. modems to connect immediately to a V.42
modem without data loss.
\G – Set Modem Port Flow Check
In buffer (normal) mode (either) \N0 or after fallback), this command enables
modem-to-modem flow control using XOFF (13h) to stop and XON (11h) to
start transmission between modems.
AT\G0 Disables port flow control (factory setting)
AT\G1 Set port flow control to XON/XOFF
2-16 AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM
\J – bps Rate Adjust Control
If this command is enabled, the serial port speed automatically changes to the
modem-connection speed. This forces the user to change the DTE-to-modem
bps rate, if needed. If the command is disabled, the serial port speed is
independent of the connection speed, which allows much greater throughput
when using error connection and data compression
AT\J0 Turns off feature
AT\J1 Turns on feature
\K – Set Break Control
Defines what action the modem takes when a break (attention signal) is sent
or received, as described below.

AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-17
\N – Set Operating Mode
Determines the type of connection attempted by the modem.
AT\N0,1 Buffer (Normal) Mode – no data compression or error correction, but
uses speed buffering.
AT\N2 MNP Reliable Mode – the modem attempts to negotiate an MNP
error-correction ’reliable’ link, hanging up if it fails.
AT\N3 V.42 Auto-Reliable Mode – if V.42 detection is enabled (-Jn), a
LAPM or MNP link can be detected and negotiated; otherwise, only
LAPM is attempted. If configured for -J0 and a protocol connection is
not made, the modem hangs up. If configured for -J1 and a protocol
connection is not made, the modem falls back to speed buffering
mode.
AT\N4 V.42 Reliable Mode – the modem attempts to negotiate LAPM error
correction, hanging up if it fails
=> Some types of modem will not accept an MNP connection. In such
cases, use the \N0 command (Buffering) or the \N1 command (Direct mode).
\Q – Set Serial Port Flow Control
This command specifies the DTE-to-modem flow control. Software flow control
uses the XOFF (13h) command to stop and the XON (11h) characters to start
data transmission, both to and from DTE. Undirectional hardware flow control
uses the CTS control line to stop or start data from the DTE only, while bi-
directional hardware flow control also uses the RTS control to stop or start
data from the modem.
AT-Q0 Disables flow control
AT-Q1 XON/XOFF software flow control
AT-Q2 Undirectional hardware flow control – CTS
AT-Q3 Bi-directional hardware flow control – RTS/CTS
=> The advantage of the RTS/CTS-Hardware flow control in opposite of the
XON/ XOFF Software flow control is the short reactiontime. The reactiontime is
for the binary date transfer, which can contain XON/XOFF-settings, absolute
necessary.
2-18 AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM
\T – Set Inactivity Timer
During a buffer (normal) or reliable connection, if no data is sent or received
within the inactivity time period, the link is disconnected. The default, ’0’,
disables this feature.
AT\T0-90 Length in minutes
AT\T0 Disables inactivity timer (factory setting)
\X – Set XON/XOFF Pass Through
If software flow control is enabled (\Q1), this command defines whether the
XON (11h) and XOFF (13h) characters received from the DTE are sent to
remote modem. In addition, if the modem port flow control is enabled (\G1) in
normal mode, the command specifies whether the XON and XOFF characters
received from the remote modem are sent to the DTE. In both cases, flow
control operation is not affected.
AT\X0 Processes flow control characters (factory setting)
AT\X1 Processes flow control characters and passes them through to the
local or remote so they can process the characters.
-J — Set V.42 Detect Phase
In V.42 modes (\N3, \N4) this command specifies whether the modem detects
V.42, MNP, or no error-connection protocols from the remote modem and
changes to the appropriate mode. Otherwise, only V.42 is attempted.
AT-J0 Disables V.42 detect phase
AT-J1 Enables V.42 detect phase (factory setting)
%C – MNP 5 Data Compression Control
This command controls whether the data sent during the MNP frames is
compressed using MNP Class 5 compression standard. MNP 5 data
compression can improve throughput by as much as 150%.
AT%C0 No compression
AT%C1 MNP Class 5 compression (factory setting)
=> Where files selected for transmission are compressed, the speed of
transmission is reduced with MNP5 or V.42 Protocols.
AT COMMANDS: DATA MODEM 2-19
%E – Auto-Retrain Control
This command controls whether the modem automatically initiates a modem
retrain whenever the received data signal quality falls below a threshold that
may affect data reliability. The value for ’n’ is stored in the NVRAM.
AT%E0 Disabled
AT%E1 Enabled (factory setting)
%G — Rate Renegotiations
This command selects whether the modem automatically initiates a change to
higher speed or lower speed depending on received signal quality (that is, rate
negotiation). The modem always responds to any rate change initiated by the
remote modem.
AT%G0 Disabled
AT%G1 Enabled (factory setting)
"H — V.42 bis Compression Control
This command specifies whether the data in the LAPM frames are
compressed using V.42 bis data compression. This can improve throughput by
as much as 400%. Compression can be negotiated to operate in one direction
or both.
AT"H0 Disables V.42 bis
AT"H1 Enables V.42 bis only when transmitting data
AT"H2 Enables V.42 bis only when receiving data
AT"H3 Enables V.42 bis for both transmitting and receiving data
(factory setting)
"O — V.42 bis String Length
This command specifies the maximum number of characters that can be
compressed into one V.42 bis code word. The default value of 32 optimizes
throughput for most file types. (6-250 = Number of characters); (n=32; usual
number of characters).

Chapter 3 MODEM MESSAGES
The modem responds to AT commands with Modem Messages. You can
control their format with the Vcommand verbal (ATV1) or numeric (ATV0).
In addition, the modem issues Connection Messages, when it recognizes
activities on the telephone line. The Xcommand determines which messages
are authorized here.
Messages regarding Modulation, Error correction, Datacompression and Data

enabled by the W3 AT command. All other ’CONNECT’ messages are used
for W0- W2 AT commands. When the modem is configured for text response
V1, the W3 verbose response codes provide information about the DTE data
rate, connection modulation, error correction protocol, data compression, and
modem-to-modem data rate. When the modem is configured for W3 and
numeric responses V0, the modem responds as if set up for W0.

Chapter 4 S-REGISTERS
The modem has a series of S-Registers, in which the active configuration are
stored. The contents of some Registers are stored in a non-volatile memory
(NVRAM), which can be interrogated with Z,&Y and &W commands. The
syntax for entering and requesting Register values is given in the description
of the Scommand. The values of most of the Registers can be modified by
using AT commands.

Range: 0-255 ring characters; factory setting: 0; Read only register
S2 – Esc Sequence Character
ASCII value of the character defined as the Esc sequence, to change from
data mode to command mode. The Esc sequence is switched off where this
value exceeds 127.
Range: 0-255; factory setting: 43 (ASCII+, “plus” sign)
S3 – Carriage Return Character
ASCII value of the Carriage Return character (<CR>Carriage Return) ends the
command lines and modem messages.
Range: 0-127; factory setting: 13 (ASCII CR, Carriage Return)
S4 – Line Feed Character
ASCII value of the Line Feed character (<LF> Line Feed). The modem sends
this character after <CR> to finish verbal modem messages in asynchronous
operating mode.
Range: 0-127; factory setting: 10 (ASCII LF, Line Feed)
S5 – Backspace Character
ASCII value for Backspace. Entering this will delete the character to the left of
the cursor (and the last character in the command memory) and the cursor
moves one space backwards.
Range: 0-127, factory setting: 8 (ASCII Backspace)
4-2 S-REGISTERS
S6 – Waiting Time for Dial Tone
The value of the S6 Register determines when the modem will begin to dial
after “going off-hook” (or after recognizing the W parameter in Dialing
command mode). The Xcommand controls the effect of the S6 Register. For
X0,X1 or X3, the modem waits for the specified period, even if the dial tone
occurs earlier. You can enter any value between 0 and 255 sec in this
Register; however, the modem will always remain in the allowed range.
Range: 3–6 seconds; factory setting: 3 sec
S7 – Waiting for Carrier Signal
Where the extended mode commands X3 or X4 are active (X3 is the factory
setting), the modem waits in Originate mode until the “Free” character is
recognized (the other connection is being called). The value of the S7 Register
determines the duration of the waiting period. In addition, the value of the S7
Register also determines how long the modem will wait for a carrier signal
from the remote modem, before it “hangs up”. Since the modem also waits for
a carrier signal, if it does not recognize a “Free” tone, the total waiting time can
be twice as long as the value set in the S7 Register.
When answering, the Register value represents only the waiting time for
carrier-tone recognition, since the “Free” character is of no importance here.
Further, the value of the S7 Register determines the waiting time for a
subsequent dialing tone (with no affect on the waiting time after the modem
has “lifted the handset”), where the Wparameter is in Dial command mode.
The subsequent dialing tone is used in telephone systems, where a number is
dialed beforehand to call the exchange.
Range: 0-255 sec; factory setting: 60 sec
S8 – Pause Time after Comma
If a comma is included in the Dial command, the modem will pause when dialing, when it
reaches this character. The length of this pause is determined by S8.
Range: 0-10 sec; factory setting: 2 sec
S9 – Answer Time after Carrier Recognition
The period of time, during which the carrier from the remote station must be
present, before the modem goes on-line. A higher value decreases the risk of
an incorrect interpretation.
Range: 1-255 1/10 sec; factory setting: 6 (0.6 s)
S10 – Delay between Carrier Loss and Hanging Up
The period of time, during which the modem waits after carrier loss, before it
“hangs up”. This allows for a temporary loss of the carrier. The value must be
greater than the value of the S9 Register, so that the modem does not “hang
up” before recognizing the carrier.
Range: 1-99 1/10 sec; factory setting: 14 (1.4 s)
S-REGISTERS 4-3
S12 – Guard Time for Esc Sequence
The Guard Time is the period of time during which, both before and after
entering the Esc sequence (+++), the modem is not permitted to receive any
characters. Where the Register value is zero, the modem will always go into
Command mode after three consecutive Esc signs.
Range: 0; 20 to 255 sec; interval 20 ms, Factory setting: 50 (1 sec)

S30 – Inactivity Timer
This determines when the modem goes off-line, when no data are being sent
or received. If no Error Correction procedure is active, this Register is reset
only by transmitted data. With other procedures, the Register is reset by any
data which are recognized. The timer works only in asynchronous mode.
Range: 0-90 sec; factory setting: 0
S-REGISTERS 4-7
S33 – Sleep Mode Timer
S33 determines when the modem enters sleep or power-down mode. When
enabled (S33 =/ 0), the controller enters sleep modem whenever the modem
has been in-active for a user-programmable time delay (S33). The modem is
considered to be in an inactive state when:
1. No internal processing is being performed
2. No activity occurs between the host and the modem within a specified time
period
3. The modem is off-line
The modem exits sleep mode whenever the host reads or writes to the modem
or when a ring signal is detected Sleep mode is disabled by setting S33 to ‚0‘.
Range: 0-255 sec
S37– Maximum Line Speed Attempted
This S-Register selects the maximum line speed allowable (that is, the modem
attempts to connect at this speed or falls back to a lower speed). Settings for
Bn, +MS=m, Nn, and S37 determine the allowable modem connections. S37
provides the same information as the +MS=m <max rate> parameter.
Changing the +MS=m <max rate> parameter automatically changes the value
of S37. For ex-ample, setting +MS=m <max rate> to 0 sets S37 to 0. Note that
S37 has no effect during V.32 bis retraining/rate negotiation
