5.4 S Register Reference
Your modem has status registers. These registers are memory locations inside your modem which control your
modem's operation. You usually do not have to worry about setting any register because the default values work
for most applications.
The S registers are summarized in 5.4.1, along with their default values. Registers denoted with an " * " may be
stored in one of the two user profiles by entering the &Wn command. One of these profiles may be loaded at
any time by using the Zn command.
The factory default values are stored in ROM and are loaded into the active configuration at power-up or by the
Zn command. In addition, the designated default profile is subsequently loaded, and may change some of the
factory default values. The designated default profile can be changed by entering the &Yn command, where 'n'
is one of the two possible user profiles. The factory defaults can be loaded at any time by entering the &F
command.

5.4.2 Glossary of the S Registers
S0 Number of Rings Before Auto Answer
S0 determines the number of rings that must be received before the modem automatically answers an
incoming call. For example, when S0=3, the modem automatically answers after the third ring. When
S0=0, the modem does not automatically answer an incoming call; it stays on-hook until the A
command is issued manually to answer the incoming call.
Range: 0 - 255 rings
S1 Ring Counter
S1 automatically increments its value by one each time the modem receives a ring while in the
command state. S1 is reset to zero if no ring is detected within 8 seconds.
