R/W  

S212  

Parity  

Indicates the parity on the serial link:  
'1' -> No parity (default value)  
'2' -> Even Parity  
'3' -> Odd Parity  

R/W  

S213  

Number of 
Stop Bits  

Number of Stop bits on the serial link:  
'1' -> 1 Stop bit (default value)  
'2' -> 2 Stop bits  

R/W  

S214  

Time-out  

Time-out in milliseconds on the serial link. Valid between 2 and 100 
milliseconds.  
Default value: 5 ms  

R/W  

S216  

Flow Control   Indicates the flow control mode:  

‘0’ -> RTS/CTS

R/W  

S218  

Buffer size  

Indicates the maximum size of frames. When this maximum size is 
reached, the modem switches the CTS signal.  
Valid between 30 and 245 bytes.  
Default value: 245 bytes

modem automatically replies a data frame)  
’0’ -> Autorepeat off (Default value) 
‘1’ -> Autorepeat on  

R/W  

S223  

Number of 
Retries  

Indicates the maximum number of retries when a message contains 
errors in secured mode. Valid between 0 and 255 (modulo 256). If the

S250  

Network  
Number  

Indicates the network number using 2 bytes. Only  
members of the same network can communicate  
together. Valid between 0 and 65535 (modulo 65536), it is set to ‘0’ 
when the modem is not initialised.  
NB: Setting S250 to ‘0’ also sets S252 to ‘0’.  
Default value: 0
