5.OPERATING IN ACT-IR100SD

5.1How To Connect IR100SD With Host Device:

IR100SD uses a standard RS232 DTE port to connect with the host. If the host device is a Modem like device and has a RS232 DCE port, then use a "straight cable". That is, connect the signals with the same name from one side to the other.

All the operating procedures of IR100SD are triggered by DSR signal from HOST, (DSR for IR100SD is an input signal.) except DSR is ignored by PC utility, see section 5.2 below. When DSR is pulled high level (RS232 level) by HOST, IR100SD will send out discovery frames to outside and try to find some other IrDA devices if IR100SD is set to Primary mode. Or it is ready to receive discovery frame from another Primary device outside if IR100SD is set to Secondary mode. It depends on what mode is operating in IR100SD.

When IR100SD is connecting to another IrDA device successfully via IR, it will pull DSR signal to high (RS232 level), which also means that Host can send and receive data frame to and from another IrDA device. When DSR is pulled to low, it means that IR link is not established anymore.

5.2How To Configure The Role Modes And The Other Parameters In ACT-IR100SD:

Since ACT-IR100SD supports Primary, Secondary and several parameters, Comset_IR100SD.exe is an application associated with the dongle for customers to configure the dongle themselves.

Please attach IR100SD dongle in PC then execute Comset_IR100SD.exe in Windows system. It will show three pages of parameters for change. After any parameter is changed, you have to press “send” button on every page you change first. Then press “Save Config into Flash” so that parameters can be configured successfully.
