8. HOW TO MAKE ACT-IR100UD-v2 WORK?
ACT-IR100UD-v2
User Manual
The behavior of ACT-IR100UD-v2 is according to the activities of several host signals before it works.
The following description shows how to make it work.
8.1 When ACT-IR100UD-v2 Is In Primary / Secondary Mode
In this mode, when host pulls its DTR output signal (connected to ACT-IR100UD-v2 DSR input
signal) to LOW, it triggers ACT-IR100UD-v2 to start send discover frame to search opposite IrDA
® devices. Until ACT-IR100UD-v2 find opposite IrDA device, it will continue to send discovery command.
Once ACT-IR100UD-v2 find opposite IrDA device, it try to establish IR link based on configured IrDA
Primary protocol (ex. IrCOMM
TM
, IrLPT
TM
or OBEX
TM
). If the connection is established successfully then
ACT-IR100UD-v2 pulls its DTR output signal (connected to Host DSR input signal) to LOW as a
notification of IrDA link establishment. Then host device can send and receive data based on status of RTS/CTS hardware flow control signal. Since only one Primary and one Secondary device in IrDA protocols, even we configure ACT-IR100UD-v2 to “Primary / Secondary” option, it may enter Secondary mode when it accepts the discovery command from another opposite Primary device. Suppose two
Primary devices have discovered each other, it will always be one playing as Primary and the other as
Secondary after negotiation.
8.2 When ACT-IR100UD-v2 Is In Secondary Mode
In this mode, when host pulls its DTR output signal (connected to ACT-IR100UD-v2 DSR input
signal) to LOW, it indicates to ACT-IR100UD-v2 that Host is ready to accept any inquiry from opposite
Primary device. Once ACT-IR100UD-v2 finds IrDA link established, ACT-IR100UD-v2 pulls its DTR
output signal (connected to Host DSR input signal) to LOW as a notification of IrDA link
establishment.. Then the host device can send and receive data based on status of RTS/CTS hardware flow control signal.
In both modes, if your host device can only provide 3 wires (TXD, RXD and Ground), then you can connect DSR and CTS signal of ACT-IR100UD-v2 to ground and keep DTR and RTS of ACT-IR100UDv2 opened. Under this case, you should refer data and IrDA link control note for more information as specified in previous chapter.

9. OBEX PUT CLIENT AND PUT SERVER DESCRIPTION
ACT-IR100UD-v2
User Manual
9.1 OBEX PUT Client:
When ACT-IR100UD-v2 is configured as
Primary
and protocol selection as an
OBEX
then it will act as
OBEX PUT Client. While working as OBEX PUT Client, ACT-IR100UD-v2 is supposed to send OBJECT
(i.e. any Object file like .txt, .jpg, .pdf file) to opposite IrDA device which acts as OBEX PUT server. Hence, once IrDA connection is established (i.e. ACT-IR100UD-v2 pull its DTR (output) low and notify to Host that
IrDA connection is established), Host device is required to send File name, File size and File Object data in the following
“Strict”
format to ACT-IR100UD-v2 to successfully send object to opposite OBEX PUT server.
a) File Name: Firstly, host sends NULL terminated file name of length less than 64 bytes . ACT-IR100UD-v2 treats all incoming bytes as File name until it encounters NULL character. E.g.,
ABC .
txt
with Null Character
(0x00) at the end of file name should be send as
0x41 0x42 0x43 0x2E 0x74 0x78 0x74 0x00
b) File Size: Secondly, host continues to send fixed 4 bytes as file size. It is fixed 4 bytes length with MSB first and LSB last. E.g., total file size (i.e. only payload excluding file name and file size bytes ) of
102,004 bytes = 0x 18E74 hex
should be sent as
0x00 0x01 0x8E 0x74
c) Payload: Thirdly, host continues to send real payload data until last byte of payload based on RTS/CTS flow control. RTS/CTS flow control is highly recommended for this application to avoid any data loss. In case of any data loss, Host is required to resend Object again.
9.2
OBEX PUT Server:
When ACT-IR100UD-v2 is configured as
Secondary
and protocol selection as
OBEX
then it will act as
OBEX PUT Server. While working as OBEX PUT server, ACT-IR100UD-v2 is supposed to receive Object
(i.e. any Object file like .txt, .jpg, .pdf file) from opposite IrDA device, which act as OBEX PUT client. Hence, once IrDA connection is established (i.e. ACT-IR100UD-v2 pull its DTR (output) low and notify Host that
IrDA link is established) and ACT-IR100UD-v2 starts to deliver the Object to Host device with File name,
File size and File Object data in the following
“Strict”
format as it just starts receiving the object from opposite OBEX PUT client.
a) File Name: Firstly, ACT-IR100UD-v2 sends NULL terminated file name. Maximum possible length of file name is less than 64 bytes . Host should treat all incoming bytes as File name until it encounters NULL character. E.g.,
ABC .
txt
with Null Character (0x00) at the end of file name should be sent by ACT-IR100UD-v2 to Host as
0x41 0x42 0x43 0x2E 0x74 0x78 0x74 0x00
b) File Size: Secondly, ACT-IR100UD-v2 continues to send fixed 4 bytes as file size. It is fixed 4 bytes length with MSB first and LSB last. E.g., total file size (i.e. only payload excluding file name and file

User Manual size bytes ) of
102,004 bytes = 0x 18E74 hex
should be sent by ACT-IR100UD-v2 to Host as
0x00
0x01 0x8E 0x74
c) Payload: Thirdly, ACT-IR100UD-v2 continues to send real payload data to host until last byte of payload based on RTS/CTS flow control. RTS/CTS flow control is highly recommended for this application to avoid any data loss. Host can reduce file size on each byte or a bunch of bytes received from ACT-IR100UD-v2 to keep track of receiving payload . At the end, Host should have received complete file payload before host starts to process object.

This is for baud rate selection and the hardware flow control.
ACT-IR100UD-v2
User Manual
10.2 Flow Control Note
Ignore CTS:
If the host has no RTS/CTS hardware flow control signals to connect to ACT-IR100UD-v2, only Tx, Rx and GND, then you have to configure this option as “Yes”. In this case, ACT-
IR100UD-v2 will ignore CTS input signal (i.e. should be connected to host RTS output signal) and pass the incoming received data to the host no matter whether it is ready or not. That means, ACT-IR100UD-v2 Ignores its CTS.
Similarly, ACT-IR100UD-v2 is buffer limited protocol processors. ACT-IR100UD-v2
has
1KB Host side buffer and 0.5 KB IrDA side buffer
. If this option has been set to “YES”, then it may cause data loss due to no flow control! Because, in the absence of above
RTS signal (i.e. should be connected to host CTS input signal), Host does not know when

The Infrared Wireless Expert
ACT-IR100UD-v2
User Manual to stop sending data to ACT-IR100UD-v2. Nevertheless, data loss can still be solved if user sends data segment by segment with each segment not exceeding its buffer size.
Still, we normally recommend you to use hardware flow control and set “NO” on this option for better performance and throughput of data send/receive.
Ignore DSR: When user wanted to use ACT-IR100UD-v2 as Primary then Host DTR output signal acts as IrDA link control signal and it would trigger this dongle to start searching for opposite
IrDA device. If the host has No DTR output signals and can not connect to DSR input signal, then this option should be set to “YES” (to Ignore DSR). Under this case, ACT-
IR100UD-v2 ignores its DSR and as power up device, it starts sending discovery to search opposite IrDA device in case of primary role and Host cannot control ACT-
IR100UD-v2 to stop searching opposite IrDA device and also Host can not disconnect
IrDA link established by ACT-IR100UD-v2 unless disconnect power or opposite device disconnect the connection even host wanted to do so.
In other words, once you set option “Ignore DSR” to “Yes”, you will not be able to control it (i.e. Stop IrDA Link) at all until power off and reset to “NO”. So, normally we recommend you to use DTR/DSR link control signals and set “NO” on this option.
