Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Technical Product Specification

1.8.1
Consumer Infrared (CIR)
The Consumer Infrared (CIR) feature is designed to comply with Microsoft Consumer
Infrared usage models. Microsoft Windows Vista* is the supported operating system.
The CIR feature is made up of two separate pieces: the receiving header, and the
emitter header. The receiving header consists of a filtered translated infrared input
compliant with Microsoft CIR specifications, and also a “learning” infrared input. This
learning input is simply a high pass input which the computer can use to “learn” to
speak the infrared communication language of other user remotes. The emitter
header consists of two output ports which the PC can use to emulate “learned”
infrared commands in order to control external electronic hardware.
Customers are required to buy or create their own interface modules to plug into Intel
Desktop Boards for this feature to work.
1.8.2
Serial Port
The board has one serial port header located on the component side of the board. The
serial port supports data transfers at speeds up to 115.2 kbits/sec with BIOS support.
