S10 - Lost Carrier To Hang Up Delay

S10 sets the length of time, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits before hanging up
after a loss of carrier. This allows for a temporary carrier loss without causing the local
modem to disconnect. When register S10 is set to 255, the modem functions as if a carrier is
always present.

The actual interval the modem waits before disconnecting is the value in register S10 minus
the value in register S9. Therefore, the S10 value must be greater than the S9 value or else the
modem disconnects before it recognizes the carrier.

Range: 1-255 tenths of a second*

Default: 14 (1.4 seconds)*

* In V.34 and V.90 modes, it is not easy to detect a loss of carrier within the S10 time because
of the echo of the transmitted signal. It takes over 30 seconds to determine that carrier is
actually lost and then the S10 value comes into effect. In V.21/V.22 modes, the register
operates as described.

S11 - DTMF Tone Duration

S11 sets the duration of tones in DTMF dialing. This value has no effect on pulse dialing.

Range: 50-255

milliseconds

Default: 95 (95 milliseconds)

S12 - Escape Prompt Delay (EPD)

S12 defines the maximum period, in fiftieths of a second, allowed between receipt of the last
character of the three escape character sequence from the DTE and sending of the OK result
code to the DTE. If any characters are detected during this time, the OK will not be sent. Note
that sending of the OK result code does not affect entry into command mode. (See 3.1.3.)

Range: 0-255 1/50 of a second

Default: 50 (1 second)

S18 - Test Timer

S18 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem conducts a test (commanded by &T1)
before returning to the command mode. If this parameter value is zero, the test will not
automatically terminate; the test must be terminated from the command mode by issuing an
&T0 or H command. When S18 is non-zero, the modem returns the OK message upon test
termination.

Range: 0-255

seconds

Default: 0
