Sending the configuration command Ka sets the communications port parameters. Baud
rate, parity, stop bits and data bits may be selected. For example, if you wanted to set the
baud rate to 2400, the parity to none, the stop bits to two, and the data bits to eight; you
would send the following command: <Ka 2, 0, 1, 1>. If you only wanted to set the
baud rate to 4800, leaving the other parameters unchanged, you could send the following
abbreviated command: <Ka 3>. If you only wanted to set the stop bits to two, leaving
the other parameters unchanged, you could send the following command: <Ka , , 1>.
The default setting is 9600 baud, even parity, one stop bit, and seven data bits.
Tip: The Ka command does not become effective until the 3700 is reset. Since reset
causes the 3700 to use the configuration saved in non–volatile memory, the Ka
command should be followed by a Save Configuration command <Z> and a Reset
command <A>.
