Serial Infrared (SIR) Connections

This mainboard features support for highly-sophisticated SIR technology, which
allows bi-directional and cordless data transactions with other IrDA compliant
computers and peripheral devices using infrared as a medium. This transmission
is carried out in either Full Duplex Mode or Half Duplex Mode. The former
allows simultaneous data transmission and reception, while the latter disables the
reception when transmission occurs. The SIR becomes active at a speed of 3/16
bauds or 16ns.
The I/O chipset on this mainboard features a SIR interface that is fully compliant
with the IrDA standard. An IrDA device can be installed via a 9-pin D-SUB
connector in the rear panel of the computer which is linked by a cable to the
onboard IrDA pinhead.
The serial port COM2 on this mainboard is designed to be an SIR compliant
port. If you wish to install the SIR connection feature, you need to adjust the
BIOS option for high-speed performance.
