Most PCs cannot exceed 115,200 bps, and some terminal programs
(Windows Terminal for example) may have other restrictions. Check the
respective program's User's Guide for help.
Forgetting to enter the final zero when trying to change the data rate
to 19200 bps would result in a rate of 1920 bps, preventing any
further communication. A reboot will return the speed to the 9600
bps default.
