UART Mode Select
This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any
option but Disabled. UART Mode Select enables you to select the
infrared communication protocol-Normal (default), IrDA, or ASKIR.
IrDA is an infrared communication protocol with a maximum baud rate
up to 115.2K bps. ASKIR is Sharp's infrared communication protocol
with a maximum baud rate up to 57.6K bps. The default setting is Normal.
UR2 Duplex Mode
This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either ASKIR or
IrDA. This item enables you to determine the infrared (IR) function of the
onboard infrared chip. The default setting is Half.
Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information
simultaneously. Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both directions,
but only one direction at a time.
RD, TxD Active
Defines the voltage level for Infrared module RxD (receive) mode and
TxD (transmit) mode. This setting has to match the requirements of the
infrared module used in the system. The default setting is Hi, Lo.
IR Transmission Delay
When enabled, utilizes the capability of the mainboard to allow faster
infrared transmission rates. The default setting is Enabled.
Onboard Parallel Port
This option is used to assign the I/O address for the onboard parallel port.
The default setting is 378.
Onboard Parallel Port IRQ
This option is used to assign the interrupt request (IRQ) for the onboard
parallel port. The default setting is 7.
Parallel Port Mode
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There
are four options: SPP (Standard Paralle l Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel
Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port), and ECP+EPP. The default
setting is ECP+EPP.
