Changes to this parameter take effect immediately. A reset is not

4.6 Resetting the Serial Converter
After you change some parameters, you must reset the Serial
Converter for the new setting to take effect. You can reset it by
removing and then reapplying power or by using Reset Module (05).
To reset the Serial Converter, set Reset Module (05) to either Reset
Module or Set Defaults. Reset Module will reset the Serial
Converter. Set Defaults will set all parameters in the Serial
Converter to their factory-default values. Refer to figure 4.9 for a
sample HyperTerminal screen.
After you enter the Reset Module value, the Serial Converter will be
reset. The value in Reset Module (05) will then return to Ready.
