S5 Command-Line Editing Character; S7 Connection Completion Time-Out - US Robotics 56K USB Modem User Manual

S5—Command Line Editing Character (User Defined)
S5 sets the character recognized as a backspace (pertains to asynchronous operation only). The modem
does 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. Therefore, a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the
backspace character.
Note: This register value is not stored with the &W command.
Range: 0—32.
• Default: 8 (backspace).
• Units: ASCII.
S6—Wait Time Before Dialing
This register sets the length of time in seconds that the modem must 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 than two seconds. The wait for dial tone progress feature (W dial modifier in
the dial string) overrides the value in register S6. This operation, however, may be affected by some
X<value> command options according to country restrictions.
Note: This register default value may vary based on country selection.
Range: 2—255.
• Default: 2.
• Units: seconds.
S7—Connection Completion Time-Out
S7 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem waits for a carrier before hanging up. The timer
starts 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 country restrictions. The timer also specifies the
wait for silence time for the @ dial modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with the W dial modifier.
Note: This register default value may vary based on country selection.
Range: 1—255.
• Default: 50.
• Units: seconds.
S8—Pause Time for Comma Dial Modifier
S8 sets the time, in seconds, that the modem pauses when the comma (,) dial modifier is encountered in
the dial string.
Note: This register default value may vary based on country selection.
Range: 0—65.
• Default: 2.
• Units: seconds.
