4-22 Using Your NEC Versa 6000
IR Ports
The IR ports on the front (and back) of your system let your NEC Versa
communicate with other devices that also use infrared technology. The IR
ports are Fast-Infrared (F-IR), Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compati-
ble. You can easily transfer files between your NEC Versa and an IR-
equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using cables.
When your NEC Versa 6000 ships, the front port is disabled and the back
port is enabled. However, if you dock your system to the optional Docking
Station 6000, the back IR port is automatically disabled and the front IR
port is enabled.
For the infrared technology to work, you need to follow these guidelines:
■
position the NEC Versa 6000 no more than three feet way from the IR
peripheral device you are using, also
■
make sure there is no greater than a 30° angle between the computer and
the device.
Using an IR port
The LapLink software that ships with your NEC Versa 6000 system pro-
vides ways for you to use the IR port. Read the instructions in Chapter 2,
“How to Use LapLink,” for steps on using the software with the IR port.
