Infrared Data Communications
Your computer is equipped with an infrared communications port enabling you to transfer
data without a cable.
Preparations for Infrared Data Communications
Set the address of your infrared communications port to enable.
Position your computer so that the port is face-to-face with the port of another
computer.
CAUTION
In the Setup Utility, select [IrDA] in the [Supervisor Setup] and set [Automatic (PnP)]
or [2F8]. Setting [OFF] will make infrared data communications impossible.
Problems with infrared data communications
An object is located between both ports.
There are other electronic devices nearby causing interference, such as, a television,
VCR, wireless headphone, etc.
Direct sunlight or white glowing light, such as fluorescent lighting; can cause inter-
ference with communications between the ports.
Running TranXit
TM
TranXit comes preinstalled and allows you to perform infrared data communications such
as transfer data and update information between two computers. Note that both computers
need to have TranXit installed and running.
