Baud rate settings
The Program port DIP switch is located on the Master card’s circuit board. Use this DIP switch to set the baud rate used by the Program port for communication. Before programming the Master, make sure the baud rate you set matches the communication set on either your PC’s COM port or through your NetLinx Studio 2.1. By default, the baud rate is set to 38,400 (bps).
