Make sure the serial port is highlighted (click on its name if necessary).
Click the Configure... button.
Choose the communication speed your interface is set to use.
Most MIDI interfaces support 1 MHz; use this if you don't know. Some interfaces support "Fast" mode. If your interface has multiple individually addressable output ports (such as a Mark of the Unicorn MIDI Time Piece, Emagic Unitor8, or Opcode Studio 4), enter the number of ports the device has. The driver will then attempt to use the MIDI Time Piece multi-cable protocol to address messages to the individual output ports. Enter just 1 port if your device only has one port or does not support the MIDI Time Piece protocol.
Open Audio MIDI Setup (found in the Utilities sub-folder of Applications) so you can see the results of your work. You should see a "Standard Interface" with as many ports as you entered in the configuration dialog.
