Page 9: Non-Standard Baudrates
Details: See www.moxa.com/warranty Non-standard Baudrates Moxa’s UART ASIC, supports most non-standard baudrates in the range 50 bps to 921.6 Kbps. In fact, supported baudrates are much denser towards the lower values. For example, no baudrates are supported between the integers 5320 and 5323, but 49 baudrates are supported between the integers 387 and 388. Of course this is the way it should be, since serial devices that require using non-standard baudrates generally use slower baudrates. - Page 10 WARNING Communication between a serial device and a Moxa UART port may not work correctly if the serial device uses a baudrate that it not within the correct tolerance of a baudrate calculated from either formula A or formula B.
