The host computer and KF3 must be set to the same baud rate.
Possible rates are 300 (03), 600 (06), 1200 (12), 2400 (24), 4800 (48),

9600 (96), 19200 (19).

9600 baud (96).

RSĆ232C Parity

Parity of the characters on the RSĆ232C link. Parity can be None (00) or

Even (01). The host computer and KF3 must have the parity set to the
