Port Configurations
allows any port to be individually configured for baud rate, number of
data bits, parity, and hardware (RTS/CTS) handshaking.
Configuration of all the ports is done through the setup software.

The 232BSS4 provides a dedicated UART to all five ports. This
Each port is configurable for the following baud rates:
1200
2400
4800
9600
19.2K
38.4K
57.6K
or 115.2 kbps
Each port can be configured for Seven or Eight data bits.
Note: If the Master and Slaves are set up differently, the port set
for Seven data bits cannot transmit the eighth bit.
Each port can be configured for Even, Odd, or No parity.
Because the Master port uses a slightly different UART, it is not
capable of receiving only seven bits, thus seven data bits with no
parity is not allowed on the Master port. All other configurations
are possible.
Each port uses 1 stop bit. This value is currently fixed and
can not be changed in the setup software.
Each port can be configured to hold data until its input
handshake line goes high. On the Master port, pin four (RTS)
would have to be held high by the host device in order for the
232BSS4 to send data. On the Slaves, pin eight (CTS) needs to
be held high by the Slave device for the 232BSS4 to send data.
The connected devices can prevent data from being sent from
the 232BSS4 by holding their corresponding handshake lines
low.
