Explanation
Communications devices must operate at the same speed to communicate successfully. This is known as baud rate or data transmission rate matching. If two devices communicate at different speeds, data will be lost or corrupted because the receiving device cannot process incoming bits fast enough (or will wait unnecessarily). This is why protocols and hardware standards define specific speeds, and why devices must be configured to match each other's transmission rates before a successful connection can be established.
