2 OVERVIEW

Many customers have used ACTiSYS RS232 Raw IR adapters for a long time. But since RS232 has

been not now a standard COM port on current notebook PC any more, it then becomes an issue for

them. Some customers may use an USB-to-RS232 conversion cable to solve this problem. But still it

is not a good solution yet. ACT-IR224UN is so designed for this purpose.

ACT-IR224UN is an USB-to-IR adapter, which can generate a virtual COM port for user to transmit

data with other IR devices without IrDA protocols required. And its driver will help user to make IR

connection without changing any Application Program in new PC, which is only equipped with USB for

COM port access.
