2.4.3
To use a Laptop PC with an IrDA standard port as the Primary device, the Terminal
Emulation program needs to be able to “connect” to the IR port. In Windows 2000 and
Windows XP systems, this requires the installation of a 3rd Party driver. One 3rd Party
driver is called “IrCOMM2K (www.IRCOMM2K.de). Once the IrCOMM2K driver is
installed, it creates a “new” com port (such as COM7). This is a virtual serial port that
the PC Terminal Emulation application program (such as HyperTerminal) can be con-
nected to. Then HyperTerminal needs to be configured. Refer to Section
2.4.3.1 “Configuring HyperTerminal”.
After configuring HyperTerminal, Section 2.4.3.2 “Running the Demo Using
HyperTerminal” discusses how to operate the MCP2140 IrDA Standard Wireless
Temperature Sensor Demo Board via HyperTerminal.
