Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.

13.4.2Rate

The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines the speed of data transferred between the SSBM and the connected equipment. For Remote Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes should operate at the highest baud rate available with the connected equipment. 300 baud is not recommended for any mode except Remote Monitor.

You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19,200.
