Xport Configuration

	'''Note:''' When using a Xport you have to set the RS232 baudrate to 921800 bit/sec. If you want to use two devices in parallel, like USB and Xport, it might work that the FT232R is configured for 1MBit in parallel. Otherwise you have to select a common baudrate, which is for example 115200 bits/sec for Xport and RS232.		'''Note:''' When using a Xport you have to set the RS232 baudrate to 921800 bit/sec. If you want to use two devices in parallel, like USB and Xport, it might work that the FT232R is configured for 1MBit in parallel. Otherwise you have to select a common baudrate, which is for example 115200 bits/sec for Xport and RS232.

			It might be that configuration of Xport does not work with Google Chrome, with a recent Firefox it worked nice.

			It is also recommended to set the Xport "CPU Performance Mode" to high in the "Server" tab, not at least to get 921600 bit/sec available.
