Sorry for the finger slip - thanks Ed - the baud rate is 38400.  You 
will not find 28400 listed, so it should be obvious.

There is an RS-232 "dongle" that ships with every K3S. It has an RJ-45 
plug on one end and an RS-232 DE9 connector on the other end.
If you plug it in, change the switch on the KIO3B board (inside the K3S) 
to RS-232 and change the RS232 menu entry to 28400 baud, you can use 
that connection just like on the K3 - note that you will also use that 
same connection for firmware downloads and other K3 Utility operations 
(i.e. the USB connection will not be usable).
