Care must be taken when changing the baud rates since the baud rate of external user
equipment must match the rate setting of the radio. Also, the maximum rated baud
rate of external RS-232 level shifters or protocol converters (for example, RS-232 to USB
converters), which are used to interface the radio to user equipment, should be
considered.
Data Serial Framing
To configure the data serial framing, enter “1” in the Serial Port Configuration menu.
The following are examples of valid inputs:
7E1
8O2
5N1.5
8N1
The first character represents data bits and can be set from 5 – 8. The second character
represents parity and can be set to N, O, or E for none, odd, or even. The last character
represents stop bits and can be set to 1, 1.5, or 2.
RF Configuration
This menu allows for the selection of the frequency characteristics of the radio and can
be accessed from the main configuration menu by entering menu option “1”.
