Use Break to Access Setup
Setting Description
Description: Enables a break command to put the radio into Setup mode over the data port.
To send a break character, the end device must hold the Tx data line in the space
voltage level for longer than 1 character time.
Example: If a character is defined as having 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1
stop bit, the character time is 10 bits.
Thus, the transmit data line must be held in the space voltage level for a
period of time longer than 10 bits.
