   - Within the transmission tab in Autodesk HSM Edit select "set up DNC".
-  - Click advanced settings after selecting "machine 1"
+  - Click advanced settings after selecting "Haas"
   - On the Haas select settings (press view/settings once) and using the F2 search command search for "baud" or setting 11 which sets baud rate.
   - Ensure that the DNC settings on the Haas match those selected under "machine 1" on the Haas computer. Keep in mind a different value of baud rate or start/stop codes will cause problems when sending files.
   * Faster Baud rates will result in faster file transfer, however it also greatly increases the chances of errors or failure during transmission. Haas recommends a Baud rate of 9600 with a maximum baud rate of 115.2 kbaud.
