S25 serves two purposes. When the modem is operating in synchronous mode 1, the value assigned to S25 specifies the length of time the modem waits after a connection has been made before examining DTR. This allows the modem to ignore an ON-to-OFF transition of DTR, giving the user time to disconnect the modem from the asynchronous terminal and attach it to a synchronous terminal, without forcing the modem back to the asynchronous command mode.
