S5

Command line editing character (user defined)

This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and

pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the

backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32

ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When

the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the

local DTE the backspace character, an ASCII space character,

and a second backspace character. This means a total of three

characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the

backspace character.
Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal
Default: 8 (backspace)
Units:

ASCII

S6

Wait before dialing

This register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem

must wait (pause) after going off-hook before dialing the first digit

of the telephone number. The modem always pauses for a

minimum of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less that two

seconds. The wait for dial tone call progress feature (W dial

modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6.

This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options

according to country/region restrictions. In some countries/regions,

S6 will set dial tone detect time.
Range: 3-255
Default: 3
Units:

seconds

S7

Connection completion time-out

This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait

before hanging up because carrier is not detected. The timer is

started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes

off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon

detection of an answer tone if allowed by county restriction.

The timer also specifies the wait for silence time for the @ dial

modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with the W dial modifier.
Range: 1-255
Default: 50
Units:

seconds
