3.6Configuring Software for Your Computer
Configure the communications software to match the computer’s configuration. If the MT2834 is connected to the COM2 serial port, select "COM2" under the Device
Select the appropriate serial port baud rate. This is the speed the modem communicates with the computer, not the speed the modem communicates with another modem.
If V.42bis data compression is enabled, select a serial port baud rate four times the transmission speed of the modem to optimize data compression. If the UART is fast enough, set the serial port baud rate to a minimum of four times the top speed of the modem.

For an 8250 UART, the most reliable serial port speed is 9600 bps. For an 8250A or a 16450 UART, try 19,200 bps. For a 16550 UART or equivalent, select a serial port setting of 115,200.
