set comm protocol on Uno

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

I need to communicate with a device that uses 8 databits, 2 stopbits and "none" parity. Anything else won't work. Is it possible to set this protocol on Uno? Also, what is the default protocol for the Arduino boards? (Uno and MEGA2560 R3)

You can set 8N2 for the hardware serial (the same port used for USB serial) but the SoftwareSerial does not support and other protocols other than the default 8N1.
Also, what is the default protocol for the Arduino boards? (Uno and MEGA2560 R3)
8N1

Thanks guys. That gets me where I need to be. I guess I was overlooking it.
