Speeding Up The Serial Port



Your MobilePro serial port is factory configured to operate at 19,200 bps, a speed compatible with most desktop computers. You can set the serial port for a higher baud rate, up to 115,200 bps, boosting the transfer rate between your MobilePro and your desktop computer.

Note
Not all desktop computers will communicate properly at a baud rate as high as 115,200 bps. Consult the documentation for your desktop computer before trying this procedure. It should be possible to use this procedure with a value less than 115,200 bps.

First, select the serial port at 115,200 bps connection on your H/PC, and then increase the Maximum Speed setting of your desktop or notebook system's serial cable connection.

  1. Select Start on the taskbar and scroll up to Settings. Tap on Control Panel.
  2. Double tap on Communications.
  3. Tap the PC Connection tab.
  4. Tap Change.
  5. Tap the down arrow and select Serial Port @ 115k.
  6. Tap OK. Tap OK again.
  7. Close the Control Panel.
  8. On your desktop or notebook system, set the baud rate to 115,200 bps.
  9. For Windows 95 and Windows 98, access the Control Panel and System icon. Select the Device Manager tab and locate the Modem device type. Select the COM port to connect your MobilePro to your desktop or notebook system. Change the maximum speed value. Locate the Ports device type and select the COM port to connect your MobilePro. From the Properties window under the Modem tab, select Port Settings and set the bits per second and flow control values. You'll need to restart the system.
  10. For Windows NT Workstation 4.0, open the Control Panel and double click on the Modems icon. Select the direct serial cable connection used to connect your MobilePro to your desktop or notebook system. Change the maximum speed value. You'll need to restart the system.
