Duplex Select
Common Options : Full-Duplex, Half-Duplex
Quick Review
This BIOS feature allows you to determine the transmission mode of the IR (Infra-Red) communications port.
Selecting Full-Duplex permits simultaneous two-way transmission, like a conversation over the phone.
Selecting Half-Duplex, on the other hand, only permits transmission in one direction at any one time, which is more like a conversation over the walkie-talkie.
Naturally, the Full-Duplex mode is the faster and more desirable choice. You should use Full-Duplex if possible.
Consult your IR peripheral's manual to determine if it supports Full-Duplex transmission. The IR peripheral must support Full-Duplex for this option to work.
