AIRport 2000 Features
The AIRport
™
2000 external infrared adapter allows
you to easily transfer files between a desktop com-
puter and a portable computer with a built-in IrDA-
compliant infrared adapter, without using cable con-
nections. (You can also use AIRport devices to trans-
mit files between two desktop computers.)
AIRport 2000 easily connects to your PC’s serial
(COM) port. After you install IrDA-compliant data
communication software, you assign a COM port
address to the AIRport 2000 as you would for a
mouse or an external modem. Then you point the
AIRport 2000 at the infrared adapter on your other
computing device and begin transmitting files.
On most PCs, AIRport 2000 draws enough power
from the COM port to transmit files at a distance of
1 meter (39.4 inches) between the infrared devices
(this is the IrDA standard).
Note:
If your PC does not provide enough
COM port power or if you want to transmit
files at distances up to 2 meters (78.8 inches),
you can alternatively use four AA batteries
or an AC adapter to power AIRport 2000.
AIRport 2000 supports the following data transfer
rates (bits per second):
–
9,600
–
19,200
–
38,400
–
57,600
– 115,200
