The baud rate can be set via the AT+IPR command. However, users are strongly advised to not change
the baud rate so the Iridium Edge uses a reliable, fixed baud rate. If the baud rate is changed with the
appropriated AT command, be advised that the SBD’s default is restored whenever factory defaults are
loaded.
3.2.2 Flow Control
It is strongly recommended to use the Iridium Edge with SBD’s flow control disabled.
The SBD’s flow control setting can be set by AT commands. For Iridium Edge units, the internal SBD’s
flow control setting has been updated and saved to flash to disable flow control. However, if the SBD’s
factory default configuration is reloaded, flow control is re-enabled. To restore flow control to the Iridium
Edge’s shipped defaults, issue the AT&K0 and AT&W0 as per the table below.
