Autobaud Feature

The autobaud feature automatically configures the baud rate on the bridge.

Once you set the baud rate in the terminal emulation program, wait until the

bridge completes the power-on self test (POST) and then the firmware

initialization process. This can take up to 90 seconds. Press the

[Enter] key

slowly 7 or 8 times and the bridge will automatically detect the baud rate. The

baud rate is then saved in the bridge’s configuration and will be retained

through future power cycles. After establishing a baud rate, it is recommended

to save the current configuration so the selected baud rate becomes the default

setting.

Note Pressing the [Enter] key before the POST has completed has no

effect on the autobaud feature. Wait until both the POST and the

firmware initialization processes have completed before pressing

the [Enter] key (this may take up to 90 seconds).

The baud rate in the terminal emulation program must be set at 9600, 19200,

38400, 57600, or 115200 for the autobaud feature to recognize it. The

bridge will not function properly at any other baud rate.
