The IFSYS-8004 USB Serial-IR Adapter is intended for applications which 

need to transfer raw serial data wirelessly over a serial infrared link. It is 

ideal for OEMs, and equipment designers who do not wish to make 

significant changes to their legacy serial software, but who now require a 

wireless means of transferring data. IFSYS-8004 comes with a USB driver 

that appears as a virtual serial port in the host system, allowing existing 

legacy serial applications to work with little or no modification. IFSYS-8004 

hardware simply encodes the serial data stream into IrDA

 physical layer 

infrared pulses for transmission and demodulates incoming infrared pulses 

into serial UART data. Data between host and adapter is transferred over 

the USB link. The IFSYS-8004 USB Serial-IR Adapter allows equipment 

designers to work with raw serial data without having to worry about the 

intricacies of a higher level protocol. 

…  Converts “raw” serial data to infrared. 

…  Hardware is IrDA

TM

 V1.1 physical layer compliant, with a transmit 

range of 1m. 

…  USB low power device. Driver appears as a Microsoft Windows™ 

virtual COM port. 

…  Ideal for industrial and medical equipment and instrumentation 

applications.
