Quatech DSCLP-100 user manual Baud rates up to 230.4 kbps

These jumpers force an increase of the UART input clock frequency by a factor of two or four. This feature can allow legacy software to use baud rates above

115,200 bits per second. It is also useful if the serial port device driver does not directly support setting the higher baud rates through the Options Register (see page 0).

If one of these jumpers is applied, it overrides any value written to the Options Register to set the clock multiplier by software. The effective baud rate will be either two or four times the value for which the UART itself is programmed.

The factory default is none of these jumpers applied, which allows for software control of the clock multiplier via the Options Register. The Options Register powerup default is for a standard times-1 clock of 1.8432 MHz for compatibility with standard serial ports.
