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.
IR Transmission Delay
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.
Onboard Parallel Port
378H/IRQ7, 3BCH/IRQ7, 278H/IRQ5

IRQ for the onboard parallel port.
