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.
