IR Port (FIR/SIR)
The IR port (COM2 port) provides wireless file transfer between your notebook
computer and an IR-equipped computer or device. You can also print to an IR-
equipped printer without connecting the printer cable. The IR port supports two
transfer rates: standard IR (SIR) mode at 115.2Kbps and Fast IR (FIR) mode at
4Mbps. See Chapter 2 to setup and configure the IR port driver under Windows
95.
CAUTION
When not using the IR port, disable the COM2 port in the
BIOS program to free up IRQ resource space.
When using the IR port, make sure that there is nothing
blocking the data transmission.
When the IR port is enabled, set the PCMCIA fax/modem to
COM3 or COM4.
