Baud Rate
Description
Actual Baud Rate
(selections 0-9)
The actual baud rate for the transceiver’s data port.
It is desirable to set the baud rate to the highest level supported by the device to
which it is connected. With a poor radio link, however, this may actually result in
slower data communications.
Data, Parity (A)
Six data word length and parity configurations are available to be used with
FreeWave transceivers. The default setting is
0
(8, N, 1) and is the most commonly
used serial communications protocol. When
Data, Parity
are selected from the
Baud Rate menu, a prompt to enter a value for
Data, Parity
displays. The following
describes each option:

Modbus RTU (B)
Support for
Modbus RTU
protocol is available. The default setting for
Modbus
RTU
is
0
(Not Enabled).
To enable the
Modbus RTU
mode:
1.
In the
Set Baud Rate
menu enter
(B)
and then select
1
Note:
When using the transceiver in
Modbus RTU
mode, the Master Packet
Repeat must match in every radio, regardless of whether the network is in
Point-to-Point or MultiPoint mode. The
Modbus RTU
mode must be
selected when transceivers are configured in RS485 or RS422 mode.
Modbus RTU timing can be adjusted via this setting. See
Modbus RTU Timing
(below) for more information
RS232/485 (C)
In products for which the protocol of the data port is software selectable (FGR09xx,
FGR-115RC, FGR115WC, etc.), use this menu to set the protocol of the data port.
In TTL RF board products (FGR09Tx) and Ethernet products (FRG-115RE), this
setting must be "0".

RS422
Modbus RTU mode must be enabled. See above.

RS485
Modbus RTU mode must be enabled. See above.

DOT
Special for the Department of Transportation.
Note:
When DOT mode is enabled, the TimeDelay settings operate the same as
in the RS485/422 mode.
Note:
RS4xx mode must have Modbus RTU enabled, and TurnoffDelay set to at
least 4.
