UART2 Mode Select
The system board supports IrDA function for wireless connectivity
between your computer and peripheral devices. You may not use
IrDA and the COM 2 serial port at the same time. If you are using
the COM 2 serial port, make sure this field is set to Normal.
To use the IrDA function, follow the steps below.
1. Connect your IrDA cable to connector J11 on the system board.
2. Set the “UART2 Mode Select” field to the type of IrDA standard
supported by your IrDA peripheral/device (IrDA or ASKIR). For
better transmission of data, your IrDA peripheral device must be
within a 30
o
angle and within a distance of 1 meter.
3. Set the “RxD TxD Active” and “IR Transmission Delay” fields
appropriately.

The options are Hi, Lo; Lo, Hi; Lo, Lo; and Hi, Hi.
