Serial Interface Baud Rate
In order for the OEM host and a transceiver to communicate over the serial interface they must have the
same serial data rate. This value determines the baud rate used for communicating over the serial interface to
a transceiver. For a baud rate to be valid, the calculated baud rate must be within ±3% of the OEM host
baud rate.

enabled. To use a non-standard Interface Timeout, disable Auto Config.

Default baud rate.
For baud rates other than those shown in
Table 7
, the following equations can be used:
(256 + BAUD_M * (2
BAUD_E
) * FREQUENCY

Baud Rate
Tips:
The RM024 supports a majority of standard as well as non-standard baud rates. To select a standard
baud rate, use the value shown for EEPROM address 0x42 in
Table 7
. To enable a non-standard baud
rate, program EEPROM address 0x42 (Custom Baud Enable) to 0xE3 and then use the equation above
to solve for BAUD_M and BAUD_E.
Adjusting the serial interface baud rate does not affect the RF data rate.
Radio can accept serial combinations (number of bits, parity, number of stop bits) of 8-N-1, 7-N-2, 7-1-
1, by default. Modes of 8-1-1, 8-N-2, 7-1-2 are acceptable with 9-bit mode enabled.
