Notes:
a) The OM25 tries to change baud rates smoothly. However if the new screen is not displayed
correctly you may have to reset your local terminal.
b) If the characters still appear corrupt then choose a lower baud rate.
Description
Speed at which characters are sent and received from the local terminal.
Higher numbers mean faster speed. If characters are being corrupted try a
lower speed.
Some terminals require 7 bit data if parity is turned on. Most prefer 8 bit data.
Provides a means of checking characters for errors (but does not correct them).
1 stop bit is standard.
Turning this on allows your local terminal to control the rate at which
characters are being sent.
This is useful if your terminal cannot keep up with the rate at which characters
are produced.
Note: if characters are being corrupted, turning on handshaking will not help –
choose a slower baud rate instead.
