Setting Terminal Transmission Speeds

The baud rate switch in the upper left corner of the 264x keyboard controls the rate at which a terminal sends and receives data. Baud rates for an asynchronous point-to-point terminal such as the 264x vary from 110 to 9600 bits per second. Baud rates for other supported terminals can vary from 110 to 19200 bits per second.

Be sure to set the baud rate at a speed that corresponds to the declaration in the MPE I/O configuration. This is important. If the configured speed differs from the setting on your terminal, Pass Thru will not be able to communicate with your terminal. For example, if MPE has logical device 29 configured to 9600 bps, and logical device 29 is physically set to 19200 bps, the terminal cannot be acquired.

	NOTE: Do not change the baud rate for your terminal during a Pass Thru session. If you do change the terminal setting, Pass Thru will stop performing properly. If this happens, you should manually reset the terminal to the correct speed.
