Step Action
Place both devices on a flat surface about 25 cm (10”)
apart, and with the IR ports facing each other.
On the System #1 Unit (IR Dongle):
Connect Serial to IR dongle to PC. Ensure that device
supports the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.
On the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Insert the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board
into the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board.
Ensure that the jumpers are configured as in
Figure D-7.
On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Apply power to the unit via the 9V power supply.
On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Ensure that the PC serial port (COM1/2) cable is
connected to the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board
DB-9 connector.
On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Depress and release the RESET Switch (S2 – MCLR).
On the PC:
“Connect” the HyperTerminal
the Primary Device (such as COM 7). Ensure that the
window indicates that the HyperTerminal program is
connected.
On the PC:
Open the HyperTerminal program window for the Sec-
ondary Device (embedded system) which would be
connected to one on the standard COM ports (such as
COM1).
On the PC:
In the Secondary Device HyperTerminal program win-
dow (COM1), type alpha-numeric characters (such as
“123456 asdfg”).
On the PC:
In the Primary Device HyperTerminal program window
(COM7), depress the Return key and type
alpha-numeric characters (such as “7890 hjkl;”).
Step 9 through Step 10 may be repeated.
On the PC:
“Disconnect” the HyperTerminal program window for
the Secondary Device (embedded system) which
would be connected to one on the standard COM
ports (such as COM1).
On the PC:
“Disconnect” the HyperTerminal program window for
the Primary Device (such as COM 7).

On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
The “IR Link” LED will turn on and the “CTS” LED will
strobe rapidly and then return to the normal rate.
—
On the PC:
In the Primary Device HyperTerminal program
window (COM7), the same characters should be
displayed (“123456 asdfg”).
On the PC:
In the Secondary Device HyperTerminal program
window (COM1), the same characters should be
displayed (“7890 hjkl;”) on the line below the “123456
asdfg” characters.

On the PC:
The IR icon in the system tray will show that the link
has been disconnected.
