Changing the Baud Rate on the Voyager UTP Local Unit 

All Local units are supplied with the baud rate preset at 9600/19200. 

 

 

9600 / 19200 

1200 

Figure 3 Local Unit Baud Rate.

Use this procedure if you want to change the baud rate. 

1.  Locate the Baud Rate jumper block in the Local unit. 
2.  Place the jumper over the posts as shown in Figure 3. 

3.  Set the hardware flow control jumpers in both Local and Remote Units to 

RTS/CTS Flow 

Control across CAT5 Link

 as described below.  

 

Ensure that the jumpers are set correctly on both the Voyager UTP Local & Remote units 

 
This mode will support most, but not all, serial mice and trackball devices. 
 
In most cases, we recommend that you use PS/2 mouse devices with the Voyager UTP extender. If 
your have a PC that does not have a PS/2 mouse port, then use a PS/2 Mouse on the remote unit and 
use a PS/2 to Serial mouse converter (2146-00C) on the Voyager Local Unit to connect to the PC 

Note: 

The drivers supplied with certain Wacom Graphics Tablets dynamically alter the 

baud rate and cannot be used with a Voyager UTP Extender system. There is a version 
of the driver available with a fixed baud rate. Please contact Technical Support for more 
information. 

 

Hardware Flow Control 

The daughterboard’s in both Local and Remote units have a series of jumpers which allow the 
selection of alternative hardware flow control schemes across the CAT5 link. Most applications will not 
require hardware flow control across the link, and therefore the flow control jumpers are set to 
loopback by default and should not need adjustment. 
The following diagrams show how the jumpers may be set for various flow control schemes. 
Please contact Technical Support if you are unsure about serial port handshaking methods.
