MDS Series User’s Guide
4.1.1.

Default Baud Rate (Sw1, Sw2, Sw3)

Setup Switches one through three select the default baud rate for
all MDS Ports. The default baud rate must match the rate your
control device will use when communicating with the MDS. If
the control device will communicate via modem, select a default
baud rate that is compatible with the modem.
After the MDS has been installed, the /P command can be used to
select individual baud rates for each port.
4.1.2.

Default Handshake (Sw4)

The default handshake format should be set to match the device
attached to Port 1. Setup Switch 4 can select either DTR
(hardware) or XON/XOFF handshaking.
After the MDS has been installed, the /P command can be used to
select both DTR and XON/XOFF handshaking, or no
handshaking. The /P command can select a different
handshaking format for each port.
