The complete syntax of the Change Port [Portlist] Datasend command is described in
the MSS Reference Manual.
Baud Rate
The MSS and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree on a speed or baud
rate to use for the serial connection. Valid baud rates for the MSS-VIA are 300, 600,
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (the default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and 230400 baud.
The baud rate can be changed with the CHANGE PORT SPEED command (for the MSS-
VIA and MSS4) or the CHANGE SPEED command (for the MSS100) followed by a baud
rate number.

Local>> CHANGE PORT 1 SPEED 19200

The MSS supports Autobaud, which allows the serial port to match its speed to the
attached serial device upon connection (see Change Port Autobaud in the MSS
Reference Manual for an explanation of the baud rate negotiation process). Autobaud is
disabled by default, but can be enabled with the following command.

Character Size, Parity, and Stop Bits
The default character size of 8 data bits can be changed to 7 data bits. Similarly, the
default stop bit count of 1 bit can be changed to 2 bits. Parity is normally None, but can
also be Even, Mark, Odd, or Space. To change these parameters, use the following
commands:

Local>> CHANGE PORT 1 STOPBITS 2
Local>> CHANGE PORT 1 PARITY EVEN
