7 MIGRATION FROM OTHER MODELS

If you use RS232-based IR adapters or ACT-IR204UN, and now are in migrating to ACT-IR224UN,

you need to know the following details:

¾ When insert ACT-IR224UN CD in Windows, Configuration Utility software will be automatically

installed. (Note: for Mac, Linux users, still need to pre-set all in Windows beforehand.)

¾ Please select the appropriate Model using configuration utility.

Note: For Volume Orders

You may inform us IR adapter model in use, and we can pre-set it for you at factory, so you

don’t need to configure at your site. Your P/O can use one of these model names:

z ACT-IR224UN-LN96 z ACT-IR224UN-L+

z ACT-IR224UN-LN19 z ACT-IR224UN-JE-pulse

z ACT-IR224UN-LN38 z ACT-IR224UN-JE-level

z ACT-IR224UN-LN57 z ACT-IR224UN-IF-pulse

z ACT-IR224UN-LN115 z ACT-IR224UN-IF-level

z ACT-IR224UN-Li

7.1 For ACT-IR220LN Series Users

Select ACT-IR220LN as your adapter model using Configuration utility. Then select baud rate

directly from this Utility. (Note: Baud rate is fixed). Your customized application doesn’t require any

change. Make sure your application supports virtual COM Port. Some application cannot handle

COM Port greater than 4 or 9. Such application needs to be updated.

7.2 For ACT-IR220Li, ACT-IR220L & ACT-IR220L+ Users

Select appropriate model as your existing adapter model name using Configuration utility. Your

customized application doesn’t require any change. Make sure your application supports virtual

COM Port. Some application cannot handle COM Port greater than 4 or 9. Such application needs

to be updated.

7.3 For ACT-IR204UN Users

When opening the COM Port (with specified baud rate), ACT-IR204UN will set the same baud rate

of COM Port to IR communication module whereas ACT-IR224UN

will set the baud rate to the COM

Port only

and not to the IR communication module. Application must use DTR & RTS signal in

virtual COM Port to set IR communication baud rate, in addition to Virtual COM port baud rate. For

baud rate setting details, please refer to Chapter of "Detailed Description for Models" in Technical
