USING INFRARED COMMUNICATION

Communicating with Infrared

■ If the computer is running Windows 98 or a preinstalled

Windows 95 operating system, the computer is IrDA-

compliant (4Mbps standard) and can communicate with

another infrared-equipped device that is also IrDA-compliant.

■ Infrared communication

■ Occurs through the infrared port illustrated below.

■ Is not supported by Windows NT 4.0 without optional

software that is not available from Compaq.

NOTE: The infrared port supports both low speed connections up to

115 kilobits per second (Kbps) and high speed connections up to

4 megabits per second (Mbps). Infrared performance may vary

depending on performance of infrared peripherals, distance

between infrared devices, and applications used.
