UART2 Mode Select
The system board supports IrDA function for wireless connectivity
between your computer and peripheral devices. You may not use
IrDA (J12) and the COM 2 serial port (J8) at the same time. If
you are using the COM 2 serial port, make sure UART2 Mode
Select is set to Normal.
To use the IrDA function, follow the steps below.
1. Connect your IrDA cable to connector J12 on the system
board.
2. Set UART2 Mode Select to the type of IrDA standard
supported by your IrDA peripheral/device (IrDA 1.0 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. The following will appear right after UART2 Mode Select.

If this option is Enabled, transmission of data will be slower. This
is recommended when you encounter transmission problem with
your device. The options are: Enabled and Disabled.
