3-8 Configuring the Serial Converter
To navigate in the terminal emulation software
The serial port rate, sometimes called baud rate or DF1 rate, is the speed
at which the computer and serial converter communicate. You can select
a serial port rate of 9600, 19.2K, or 38.4K with the serial converter
(Series B). The factory-default serial port rate is 9600.
Important: If you change the serial port rate in the serial converter, you
must set your software to use the same serial port rate.
To set the serial port rate
1. Set Parameter 03 - [DF1 Rate Cfg] to the desired rate.
Figure 3.7 DF1 Rate Cfg Parameter in HyperTerminal
2. Reset the serial converter. Refer to Resetting the Serial Converter in
this chapter.
3. Set the serial port rate in your software to match the new serial port
rate in the serial converter.
