• Delivery value for 

 is 115200bps on ASC0 and 115200bps on ASC1. It will not be restored with 

. 

• The current setting of 

 will be preserved when you download firmware (i.e. a firmware update does

not restore the factory setting) or in the event of power failure. 

• Generally, 

 should be used as a standalone command. If nevertheless combinations with other com-

mands on the same command line cannot be avoided, there are several constraints to be considered: 
- Avoid combinations with the AT commands listed in Section 

- Take into account, that a pause of 100ms is required between the response to the last command (e.g. OK)

and the next command.

- When local echo is active (

1) and you enter 

=x with other commands you may encounter the

following problem: if switching to the new bit rate takes effect while a response is being transmitted, the

last bytes may be sent with the new bit rate and thus, not properly transmitted. The following commands

will be correctly sent at the new bit rate.

• In order to account for greater amounts of data it is recommended to choose a minimum bit rate of 2400 bps.

If the ME shall be operated in Multiplex mode we suggest a minimum bit rate of 4800bps. 

• In Multiplex mode, the write command 

 will not change the bit rate currently used, but the

new bit rate will be stored and becomes active, when the module is restarted. 

• A selected bit rate takes effect after the write commands returns OK. 
• If Java is running, the firmware will ignore any settings made with 

. Responses to the read, write or

test command will be invalid or deliver "ERROR". See also "AC75 Java User's Guide" 

, Section "Configur-

ing serial interface". 

To take advantage of autobaud mode specific attention must be paid to the following requirements: 
• Synchronization between TE and TA:

Ensure that TE and TA are correctly synchronized and the bit rate used by the TE is detected by the TA. To

allow the bit rate to be synchronized simply use an "AT" or "at" string. This is necessary when you start up

the ME while autobauding is enabled. It is recommended to wait 3 to 5 seconds before sending the first AT

character. Otherwise undefined characters might be returned. 

• Restrictions on autobauding operation:

- If you switch to autobaud mode, then autobauding does not take effect immediately after the write com-

mand 

=0 ends. Instead the old bitrate remains active. The autobaud mode is activated with the

next restart of the TA. This is indicated by any following 

 read command which still returns the old

baudrate until the next restart. 

Before you activate autobauding switch on the local echo with 

1. To verify if autobauding has become

effective after restart first send only the characters "AT" or "at" and check that they are echoed within

100ms. In some cases you may need to repeat this several times, until both characters are properly ech-

oed within 100ms. 

Please note that after the successful synchronization between TE and TA the autobauding mechanism of

the TA is deactivated until next restart. So, while autobauding is enabled you will need to restart the TA

each time after changing the bit rate of the TE.
