IR-200S IrDA Serial Adapter

The VScom IR-200S IrDA Serial Adapter enables infrared wireless data

communication by connecting the IrDA dongle to the onboard serial port of your

desktop computer. The adapter provides fast and reliable wireless connectivity

between desktop computer and IrDA compliant mobile peripheral devices including

notebooks, PDAs, handheld and pocket PCs (Palm OS or Windows CE), digital

cameras, cellular phones, printers, etc. The IrDA Serial Adapter provides record

synchronization, file back-up and network access.

The VScom IrDA Serial Adapter provides a simple way to add infrared port to your

desktop computer. The IR-200S connects directly to your computer’s RS-232 (DB-9)

serial port. It allows the desktop PC without infrared port to connect to numerous

infrared devices. It is powered by the RS-232 port, and no external power adapter is

required. The VScom IrDA Serial Adapter is with metal base that allows the adapter

sitting firmly on your table. The adjustable IrDA panel design allows you to beam

the data of the mobile devices from different angle and direction.

The IrDA Serial Adapter offers a convenient solution to enable existing

non-IrDA-enabled PC’s to communicate with a world of applications and devices.
