RS-232-to-Infrared Transceiver

A transceiver has been developed to serve as a data-communication link between (1) the RS-232-standard serial communication port of a personal computer (PC) running the Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system and (2) a remote infrared transceiver that is capable of operation at a baud rate < MHz. The PC-to-transceiver communication is 115.2 kilobits per second, while the infrared communication is at 4 megabits per second.
