J45: IrDA Connector
Function
The IrDA connector is for wireless connectivity between your computer and
peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports
data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter. It supports both IrDA and
ASKIR infrared port modules.
Connecting the IrDA Cable
To use the IrDA function, follow the steps below.
1. Connect your IrDA cable to connector J45.
2. Set the “UART Mode Select” field to the type of IrDA standard supported by
your IrDA peripheral/device. For better transmission of data, your IrDA
peripheral device must be within a 30
o
angle and within a distance of 1 meter.
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 to set the “UART Mode Select” field to
Normal.
3. Set the “RxD, TxD Active”, “IR Transmission Delay”, “UR2
Duplex Mode” and “Use IR Pins” fields appropriately.
Driver Installation
You may need to install the proper drivers in your operating system to use the IrDA
function. Refer to your operating system’s manual or documentation for more
information.
