Non-standard Interface Data Rates
BD values above 0x38 (Legacy) or 0x4AF (XTend vB) are interpreted as an actual baud rate. When a non-standard
value is sent, the closest interface data rate represented by the number is stored in the BD register. For example, a
rate of 19200 b/s can be set by sending the following command line "ATBD4B00".
Note on Legacy only: when the BD command is sent with a non-standard interface data rate, the UART will adjust to
accommodate the requested interface rate. In most cases, the clock resolution will cause the stored BD parameter to
vary from the parameter that was sent. Reading the BD command (send the "ATBD" command without an associated
parameter value) will return the value actually stored in the modem’s BD register.
BR (RF Data Rate) command
<RF Interfacing> The BR command is used to set and read the RF data rate (rate that RF data is transmitted over-the-
air) of the modem.
BT (Guard Time Before) command
<AT Command Mode Options> The CC command is used to set/read the ASCII character used between guard times of
the AT Command Mode Sequence (BT + CC + AT). This sequence enters the modem into AT Command Mode so that
data entering the modem (from the host) is recognized as commands instead of payload.
Legacy Modem Non-standard baud rates supported as of firmware v2.x20
