Simple way to make windows 2003 support infrared communication

Before I talk about this tutorial, I will introduce you to infrared communication. Many people don't understand this. In fact, infrared communication is to modulate and demodulate binary digital signals for transmission using infrared channels. The infrared communication interface is Modem infrared communication technology for infrared channels is suitable for low-cost, cross-platform, point-to-point high-speed data connections, especially embedded systems.

For security factor considerations, Windows 2003 does not integrate support for IrDA infrared communication. So, if you want to achieve infrared communication support, how to do it? In fact, the method is very simple, that is to transplant the IrDA infrared communication protocol software in Windows XP system to Windows2003, download the infrared protocol package of windows xp system After (download address: see the end of the article), extract the zip file, go to the unzipped folder, run the batch file "InsIRDA.bat", and then double-click the "infrared.reg" file in the REG folder Import the registry key into the native registry.

Next, we can install the infrared adapter in the normal way, but we must pay attention to the driver provided by the adapter manufacturer for the windows xp system. After the installation is complete, we can use the infrared communication function in Windows2003.

In addition, we can use the IrDA infrared communication protocol software in the XP system to solve this problem. When installing, use the 650 driver in the XP system. If there is a lack of protocol software, go to this package and find it. After that, it works fine in Windows2003.

Tips

Disadvantages of infrared data communication technology:

1. Short transmission distance due to line of sight;

2. Requirements for communication equipment Fixed location;

3. Its point-to-point transmission connection, can not flexibly form a network.

But these shortcomings have not brought a fatal obstacle to the application of IrDA. Infrared technology has been widely used in devices such as mobile phones and notebook computers.
