Subtests require the following data format:

Speed:  
 
38400BPS (Subtests 06, 07) 
Data:   
 
8 bits and one parity bit (EVEN) 
Data pattern:  20h to 7Eh 
Subtest 06 
FIR/SIR Point to Point (send) 
NOTE: To execute subtests 06 and 07, each computer must have access to 
the other computer’s infrared port. 
This subtest sends 20h through 7Eh data to the receive side, then receives the 
sent data and compares it to the original data through the FIR/SIR port. 
Subtest 07 
FIR/SIR Point to Point (receive) 
This subtest is used with subtest 06 described above. This subtest receives the 
data from the send side, then sends the received data through the FIR/SIR 
port.
