Baud Rate
Sets the baud rate for the selected port. Choose from the baud rates available in the drop down list box.
Baud Rate Notes
A baud rate denotes the speed of which a serial port is to operate at. The Magnum Router handles baud rates in the following manner:
When the Port Mode is selected as DCE, then the baud rate selected is the reported clock speed to the attached device. However, if the Port Mode is selected as DTE (which would accept clock from an external source), the baud rate box changes to a Carrier Rate box and denotes the accepted clocking speed of an attached device.
The Magnum Router can accept an external clock, but will not report it. Thus, the baud rate selected when the Port Mode is DTE is for documentation purposes.
However, it is important to note that the DTE baud rate is used for calculating the estimated bandwidth used in the Port Utilization screen.
Notes
The notes field of the Port Settings screen gives a convenient way to document data that is relevant to the selected port, such as circuit ID, or where the port connects to, etc.
