Programming General Settings
Setting the Serial Port Speed
Use this setting to control the data rate used for the front and back panel serial
ports. You typically set the front port to match the speed used to communicate with
your PC (default 115200 bps) and the back port to the speed used to communicate
with an attached GPS device (default 4800 bps). Note that the back port is male.
You may need a gender changer and a null modem adapter to use a typical DB9
serial cable from the rear port.
