Once upon a time Christopher H. Dow shaped the electrons to say...

Hmm. Looks wrong, to be sure.

Yep...

Ok, dip switch one is not up - it would show 9600. So that isn't it.

This is on. Good.

And it shows this with NOTHING plugged into the port? Look at the pins,
nothing is shorting them, right? What about just a cable attached with
no modem? (I've seen signal float high from time to time.) Resetting
the port doesn't help either I take it...

If this persists, I'd open a support ticket - might be an RMA.
