COM Port Configuration

Use this subsection if you want to configure standard or advanced COM port
properties. See the following subsection for standard COM port configuration and
see

not set COM port properties. If the application sets COM port properties, those
settings take precedence over the standard COM port settings. The exception to
this guideline is if you use the Override and Lock Baud Rate advanced COM port
setting (Page 67).
