I have installed a RS232/422/485 2-port card in a Linux machine. From what I can tell the drivers were successfully installed. I don’t recall the kernel being used… but it is running Xubuntu.
It appears it is running at [default?] baud of 115200. The device I’m trying to access only uses 9600.
How do I change the baud rate?
Hello @markzee,
Thank you for asking your question here on the StarTech.com community.
It sounds like you might be working with one of our older serial adapters.
I took a few moments to review and, sadly, I did not see any documentation regarding changing baud rates in Linux. This is often a function that is managed in an application directly on most operating systems.
If you are working at the Linux command line you can use commands like the following ones I found with a couple of quick online searches:
# stty -F /dev/ttysx 9600
or
# screen /dev/ttysx 38400
We often suggest using the ‘screen’ application in Debian based distributions when troubleshooting serial devices.
If you would like to share more about your adapter, application, and what you wish to accomplish we would be happy to help in any other way that we can.
Sincerely,
