After choosing a Maestro, the bus baud rate of each bus can be changed. The
CANopen Configurator obtains the LSS address and Node ID of all nodes on the bus
and analyzes their settings.

To change the CAN bus baud rate,

1. Click inside the Baud Rate field to obtain a drop-down list of baud rates.

2. Select a baud rate from the list.

3. Open the Apply menu and select the Apply Configuration option.

To be able to communicate, all nodes on the network must function at the same baud
rate. When a new configuration is applied, all the nodes on the network are
reconfigured to the baud rate specified in the configuration.

The CANopen Configurator uses the DS301 and DS305 protocols to communicate
between network devices and to configure them.
