Factory settings are the baseline parameters stored in ROM or flash memory before a product ships. These defaults ensure the device powers up in a known, safe state with standard communication baud rates and default passwords. Users can overwrite these values in active memory, but the original settings are retained in a protected sector for recovery purposes.
