Infrared Data Port
Infrared Data Port allows you to avoid resource conflicts by remapping the address of the infrared ports or
disabling the port. The COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 settings allow you to take advantage of the
computer's Fast IR support.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled — Disables the infrared data port and makes the DMA, IRQ, and I/O resources available for
another serial device to use
COM1 — Maps the infrared data port to COM1
COM2 — Maps the infrared data port to COM2
COM3 (the default) — Maps the infrared data port to COM3
COM4 — Maps the infrared data port to COM4
For a change in the Infrared Data Port option to take effect, you must reboot your computer.
Infrared Mode
The Infrared Mode option appears on the screen only after an address is assigned in the Infrared Data Port
option. Infrared Mode lets you select Fast IR mode or Slow IR mode for use with an infrared device. Select
Slow IR if the Parallel Mode option is set to ECP and the Audio Mode option is set to Full Duplex.
