Setting the Test Timer S18=


The test timer determines the duration of a test. S18, when set to a non-zero value, establishes the duration of the modem diagnostic tests. When a test is active for a period equal to the value chosen for this register (from 1 to 255 seconds), the modem stops the test and returns to the command state.

For example, if the register is set to 10 (ATS18=10<CR>), a test, when initiated, continues for 10 seconds. Setting S18 to 0 (ATS18=0<CR>) disables the test timer (factory setting). Tests are then terminated with the &T0 command or by resetting the modem.
