Console Settings (Autobaud Rate Suppor t)
The console port speed can be set to one of the following speeds: 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 or to Auto Detection.
Auto Detection enables the device to detect your console speed automatically, so
that you are not required to set it explicitly.
When Auto Detection is not enabled, the console port speed is automatically set to
the last speed that was set manually at (115,200 by default).
When Auto Detection is enabled but the console baud-rate was not yet
discovered, the system uses speed 115,200 for displaying text (for example, the
boot-up information).
