described above special situations may require that this setting be changed but it is highly

5.12.3 Selecting a Baud rate
Four different baud rates are available for connecting to a serial terminal or terminal
emulator. Other communication parameters are: No parity, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit and xon/xoff flow control. The three-pin serial connector on the back of
the subsystem allows connection to a PC serial port by using an extension cable. A
communication package such as PRO-COMM (with xon/xoff enabled) allows you to
upgrade the flash firmware serially. Select a baud rate by using the Pick Entry Method.
