Modems have 41 registers, designated S0 through S95. These can have their values changed by
commands. If you use a command to change a register value, the command remains in effect
until you turn off or reset your modem. Your modem then reverts to the operating
characteristics specified in its non-volatile memory. Refer above for information on how to
use the AT commands to manipulate the “S” registers.
