Using Your NEC Versa 4-19
IR Port
The IR port on the left side of your system lets your NEC
Versa communicate with other devices that also use infrared
technology. The IR port is Infrared Data Association
(IrDA) compatible. You can easily transfer files between
your NEC Versa and an IR-equipped desktop, or print to an
IR-equipped printer without using cables.
There are three transfer rates for the IR port on your NEC
Versa. The transfer rates are FIR (Fast Infrared - 4.0
Mbit/sec), MIR (Medium Infrared - 1.152 Mbit/sec), and
SIR (Serial Infrared Standard - 2.4 Kbit/sec).
Your NEC Versa transfers data at the speed compatible
with the receiving device. If the receiving device is also FIR
equipped, your NEC Versa recognizes this capability and
transfers data at the FIR rate.
!
CAUTION
Your NEC Versa ships with the IR port disabled.
The first time that you use the IR port you must en-
able the device through the setup utility.
Once the IR port is enabled in setup, use the
Windows 95 device manager to enable and disable
devices.
For information about enabling and disabling de-
vices on your NEC Versa, see “Enabling and Disa-
bling Devices,” later in this chapter.
