Positioning for Data Transfer
Typically, you connect an AIRport 2000 to your desk-
top computer to enable wireless communication with
a built-in infrared device on a laptop or portable PC.
The infrared lens must be in a direct line of sight with
the infrared lens on the other computing device.
AIRport 2000 and other IrDA-compliant infrared
devices transmit data in a 30-degree cone of infrared
light, as shown in the following diagram.
Be sure that both infrared devices are within this
30-degree cone. File transmission will fail if one of
the devices is turned too far to the right or left or is
much higher or lower than the other device.
Advanced Power-saving Feature
AIRport 2000 has no power switch. It shuts down
automatically when you unplug it from the COM
port or when a command from the file management
software turns it off. If you are using AA batteries,
AIRport 2000 does not draw power from them when
it is shut down. You can safely leave the batteries in
the case if you are not using AIRport 2000 for an
extended period of time.
Troubleshooting
■
Be sure that IrDA-compatible data management
software is installed and running on both com-
puting devices.
■
Be sure that connectors and power cords are
firmly connected.
■
Be sure the AIRport 2000 infrared lens is clean
and free of dust.
