Components and Jumper Setting
J45: IrDA Connector
Function
The IrDA connector is for wireless connectivity between your com-
puter 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 suppo
rted 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.
J48: SMBus Connector
Function
The SMBus (System Management Bus) connector is used to connect
SMBus devices. It is a multiple device bus that allows multiple chips to
connect to the same bus and enable each one to act as a master by initi-
ating data transfer.
