The USB irDA adapter comes factory configured for 9600 baud rate serial communication. Baud rate can be changed by using the on-board switch (or via solder jumpers) and sending specific HEX commands toward the onboard mcp2120 for changing the baud rate setting.

Changing the Baud rate:

The USB irDA Adapter SIR baud rate by sending can be changed using a specific control command when the irDA module is in command mode (by using the on board switch.) Please refer to MCP2120 datasheet for more information on switching the serial baud rates.
