Baud Rate 
Description 
Actual Baud Rate 
(selections 0-9) 
The actual baud rate for the transceiver’s data port.  
It is desirable to set the baud rate to the highest level supported by the device to 
which it is connected.  With a poor radio link, however, this may actually result in 
slower data communications. 
Data, Parity (A) 
Six data word length and parity configurations are available to be used with 
FreeWave transceivers. The default setting is (8, N, 1) and is the most commonly 
used serial communications protocol. When Data, Parity are selected from the 
Baud Rate menu, a prompt to enter a value for Data, Parity displays. The following 
describes each option:

Modbus RTU (B) 
 
Support for Modbus RTU protocol is available. The default setting for Modbus 
RTU
 is (Not Enabled). 
To enable the Modbus RTU mode: 
1.  In the Set Baud Rate menu enter (B) and then select 
2.  In the Set MultiPoint Parameters menu, set Master Packet Repeat to 3. 
Note:  When using the transceiver in Modbus RTU mode, the Master Packet 
Repeat must be set to 3 regardless of whether the network is in Point-to-
Point or MultiPoint mode. The Modbus RTU mode must be selected when 
transceivers are configured in RS485 or RS422 mode. 
RS232/485 (C) 
In products for which the protocol of the data port is software selectable (FGR09xx, 
FGR-115RC, FGR115WC, etc.), use this menu to set the protocol of the data port. 
In TTL RF board products (FGR09Tx) and Ethernet products (FRG-115RE), this 
setting must be "0".

DOT 
Special for the Department of Transportation.  
Note:    When DOT mode is enabled, the TimeDelay settings operate the same as 
in the RS485/422 mode. 
Note: RS4xx mode must have Modbus RTU enabled, and TurnoffDelay set to at 
least 4.
