Please use the default setting.
The setting for item "RxD, TxD Active", also called "TX, RX inverting", allows you to
determine the activity of RxD and TxD. We set it to "Hi, Lo". If your motherboard BIOS uses
"No" and "Yes" to represent this item, you should set it to the same setting as the NV7-133R.

If you fail to do so, you will not get an IR connection between the NV7-133R and the other
computer.
