This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any option but "Disabled." UART Mode enables you to select the infrared communication protocol--Standard (default), HPSIR or ASKIR. HPSIR is Hewlett Packard's infrared communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 115.2 Kbps. ASKIR is Sharp's infrared communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 57.6 Kbps. This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either ASKIR or HPSIR. This item determines the infrared (IR) function of the onboard infrared chip. Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simultaneously. Half duplex is the transmission of data in both directions, but only one direction at a time. Defines the voltage level for Infrared module RxD (receive) mode and TxD (transmit) mode. This setting has to match the requirements of the infrared module used in the system. This option is used to assign the I/O address for the onboard parallel port. This feature enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. Normal allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) are bidirectional modes, allowing both data input and output.
