In my experience, the IIc serial ports do not need to be configured by 
you, as your communications program takes care of that.

All you need is a correct cable, modem and software.

I don't know what your needs are, but Zlink is a good basic terminal 
program, Jameco Electronics sells a functional 2400 bps modem for a 
reasonable price, InTrec softwear sells IIc modem cables and if your 
communication needs are not satisfied by Zlink, they sell the primo 
communications program for the Apple II.

comm programs on it. Finger my address for more info.
