2.9 Communications
2.9.1 Serial Infrared
This notebook has an SIR (serial infrared) port located on the rear panel.
Wireless communication support allows you to transfer data to SIR-”aware”
machines without the aid of cables. Not only can you transfer data between
two SIR-capable computers, you can also send data to SIR-”aware”
peripherals like infrared printers without the need to connect cables.
The infrared port is IrDA-compliant, allowing it to transfer data with speeds of
up to 115.2 kilobits per second (kbps) at a distance of up to one meter.
Using the Infrared Port
Line up the SIR ports of the two SIR-
”aware” devices no more than one
meter apart and no greater than ±15
degrees.
Begin the file transfer program on
both machines and you’re ready to
go. See your file transfer software
manual for details.
