IR HotSync operations
Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the
Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam data to
another Palm OS handheld that’s equipped with an IR port, but you can also beam
data to a mobile phone and any other device that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the IrDA standards.
Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations; you
don’t need your cradle/cable. This is especially useful if you travel with an
infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared communication on your
laptop and handheld and follow the steps in
“Performing an IR HotSync
operation” later in this section.
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.
