ATS6 Dial Tone Wait Time

S Register 6 determines how long the modem will wait for a dial tone after going off-hook and

before dialling.

This register contains a value indicating the number of seconds the modem will wait for a dial

tone. This provides slow telephone exchanges the opportunity to apply a dial tone to the line

before the modem attempts to dial.

If the W dial modifier is included in the phone number being dialed, the value in S Register 6 will

be ignored, unless the X2, X4, or X5 commands have been issued.

Examples

ATS6=5 Wait five seconds for a dial tone before dialling.
