Advanced HotSync® Operations
Preparing your computer for infrared
communication
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the
computer with which you want to synchronize must fulfill these
requirements:
■
Your computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the
IrDA standards.
■
Your computer must have an enabled infrared port that’s built into
the computer, or an enabled infrared device attached to the
computer.
Some desktop computers may require an infrared device attached
to a physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR
port, so no external device is necessary.
■
Your computer must have an installed infrared driver.
If you have an external infrared device attached to your computer,
a driver is probably included with the device. Consult the
documentation included with the device for information on
installing the required driver.
Check your computer’s documentation to learn if the computer
supports infrared communication.

communication.

option on the HotSync Manager menu, complete the following
steps.
2. Make sure Local Serial is checked on the menu.
