Using the Infrared Port
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 any another infrared-equipped device that is also
IrDA-compliant.
■ Infrared communication is supported by Windows 95 and Windows 98.
To operate infrared on computers running Windows NT 4.0, you will
need to purchase optional third-party software.
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.
