A very handy feature for people on the road is the capability of hooking a cellular phone to the
WinBook FX. There are several vendors who offer PCMCIA cards that interface to cellular
phones. Normally these cards work with specific models of cellular phones, so be sure to check
with your cellular phone manufacturer to see if your phone supports these features. Or check
with your PC Card manufacturer to see if it supports your phone.
Once you have the PC card hooked up with your cellular phone and your WinBook FX, you can
send and receive faxes, access e-mail or surf the Internet without having to find a phone jack.
USING THE SERIAL INFRARED PORT
The Serial Infrared port uses infrared light to communicate with compatible external devices
such as other computers or printers. The Serial Infrared port operates similar to a TV remote
control, but the data moves at a greater speed. This method of communication offers a
convenient wireless connection to compatible devices.
To use the port, you must have an unobstructed visual pathway between the WinBook FX’s
Serial Infrared transceiver and the external device’s Serial Infrared transceiver. The WinBook
FX and the external device can be up to 1 meter apart with a 15º angle.
To use the Serial Infrared port, you may need to enable the port. To enable the port, go to the
Setup Program. See Chapter 9,
Using the Setup Program , for more information.
NOTE: The WinBook FX comes with Puma TranXit software to support the infrared interface.
TranXit will allow you to print wirelessly to a printer with an IR port such as the HP LaserJet
5M, or send and receive files from another system with TranXit. Refer to the TranXit manual
that [FX 4-18] came with your system or the TranXit on-line documentation.
To get to the TransXit on-line help, press the left <Windows> key, and select Programs , then
TranXit , and then select the TranXit Help icon. This will bring up the on-line manual.
Once you are familiar with the TranXit capabilities, you can start the application by clicking on
Start , then Programs , then TranXit2 , then TranXit , and then follow on-screen instructions.
