1-22 Getting Started
Enabling the Infrared Port
The infrared port on your host PC must be available for
synchronization with your MobilePro. Follow these steps to enable the
infrared port:
1.
Access the setup utility on your host PC to verify that the port is
enabled. If required, select FIR support in Setup.
2.
Set up infrared software components on your host PC. In the
Windows environment:
!
Go to Start, Settings, and Control Panel.
!
If infrared is disabled, select the options tab and place a check
in the box “Enable infrared communications.”
!
Place a check in the boxes: “Search and provide status for
devices in range” and “Install software for Plug and Play
devices within range.”
!
Uncheck the box “Limit connection speed to.”
3.
Click Apply and click OK.
4.
Check the device manager on your host PC to identify potential
conflicts for the infrared port.
!
Double click the System icon, select the Hardware tab, and
select the Device Manager button.
!
Check the Ports listing to determine if any conflicts exist
(another device is assigned to or is using the infrared port).
The port may be flagged with an exclamation point, for
example, if any conflicts exist.
!
If another device is assigned to or is using the infrared port,
you must reassign the device to free up the infrared port for
MobilePro synchronization.
5.
Reboot your host PC.
Once the system restarts, an infrared icon (gray vertical bar with a
red bump) appears in the system taskbar. If there is an X to the
right of the icon, infrared is not enabled. Repeat steps 1-4 to
enable infrared.
