The S4 register lets you change whether the cursor advances
to the next line after a message. By default, a line-feed char¬
acter is generated after a modem message, which moves the
cursor to the next line. To change the value of this register, enter
the ASCII decimal value of another key you want to use! (See
Appendix B
for a list of keys and their ASCII decimal values.)
To keep the cursor on the same line after a message, change
the value of the register to a nonprintable key, such as the
[Space Bar]
(S4 = 32).
55
The S5 register allows you to set the backspace character. By
default, the
[Backspace]
key moves the cursor backwards. To
change the value of this register, enter the ASCII decimal value
of the key you want to use. (See
Appendix B
for a list of keys
and their ASCII decimal values.) Do not use ASCII values 33 to
126; these values are for printable characters.
56
The S6 register lets you specify how long the modem waits
for a dial tone before dialing a number. This delay ensures
that a dial tone is present before the modem dials the tele¬
phone number. By default, the modem waits 2 seconds—the
minimum delay you can set. (If you change the value of this
register to 0 or 1, the modem will ignore the setting.)
57
The S7 register allows you to specify how long the modem
will wait for a carrier signal from another modem before dis¬
connecting the call. If the modem doesn't detect a carrier
signal within the specified time, it hangs up and displays a
NO CARRIER message. By default, the delay is 30 seconds.
58
The S8 register lets you specify how long the modem waits for a
second dial tone when you place a call through a switchboard or
PBX. The value of this register determines the length of the delay
caused by the comma (,) in a dial command. (A comma placed
after the number that accesses an outside line and before the
telephone number in a dial command causes the modem to
pause before dialing the telephone number.) By default, the
modem waits two seconds. If you are having difficulty making
a connection when dialing through a switchboard, increase
the value of this register to increase the delay, or use multiple
commas.
