ACT-IR910SW IrDA Protocol Recording/Analysis Software

========================================================

***Important Notice***

1) You must read the readme.txt carefully before you start use it.

If you were not, you would lose some information. Missing any

You will need a real DOS system with at least one free COM port.

information will make it difficult to analyze IrDA protocol traffic.

2) You will need a real DOS system (not emulated DOS under Windows)

with at least one free COM port.

IR910SW records IrDA protocol conversation from 9.6K to 115.2 Kbps.

It works together with ACTiSYS IrDA PC RS232 Dual head adapter, IR910D.

You will need a real DOS system with at least one free COM port.

It does not decode OBEX or any other layers above IrLMP.

But all the information are preserved for you to read. Please see

the sample output LOG_LMP.TXT attached.

This sample is an OBEX session.

Timing information down to byte level are shown in the

LOG_PHY.TXT output file. Please see the sample file attached.

This is a three-step process. Step one is to record the IrDA traffic. Step two is to translate the

recorded data to text files. And step three is to view the text files.

(I) Recording Data

Run either "COM_1.EXE" with IR910D at COM1, or "COM_2.EXE" with IR220L+ at COM2.

You need to run under real DOS, not emulated DOS under Windows.

Page 1 COM port. IR910SW records IrDA protocol conversation from 9.6K to 115.2 Kbps. It works together with ACTiSYS IrDA PC RS232 Dual head adapter, IR910D. You will need a real DOS system with at least one free COM port.
Page 2 The Primary, the Secondary, and IR910D should be placed very close to each other and all facing the same direction. Place a white paper in front of all three about 10 cm away. This way all three can see each other by reflection. Make sure IR910D can hear both both device's talks. The recorded data is written into a binary file LOG_RAW.BIN.
Page 3 Last but not least, the frame_# is an arbitrary sequential number assigned to each frame. All three text files share the same sequence so that you can use it to cross reference them. (IV) Example Using Device Embedded with IrDA Protocol IC, ACT-IR8200L: a) The first IR traffic record: 1.
Page 4 1) Keeping IR8200L power on. 2) Run COM_12.exe 3) Turn on the Device B and then active IR service program. 4) You can see “……**********” on the DOS screen. 5) Stop listening program, the program will generate a BIN file (LOG_RAW.BIN).
