5.4 Using the IR Port

Your computer can equip with an industry standard IR port that allows

enhanced wireless connection with infrared built-in devices like PDAs, printers,

and portable computers. The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA)

compatible that makes use of the second COM port or COM2 of your

computer. The transfer rate for SIR is 115.2Kbit/sec. The transfer rate for FIR

is 4Mbit/sec.

To connect to another IR equipped device:

1. Properly position both your computer and the target device. Place the

target device in line with your notebook and should be within 80cm (30-

inches) from each other. You should refer to the User Guide of the target

device on how to enable its IR function.

2. Turn on your computer.

3. After setting up both devices to enable IR function, run the external

device's application that you wanted to connect to the IR port.

4. Set the transmission protocol or device to COM2 or specified by Windows

system. Make sure that this does not conflict with any pre-installed

fax/modem PC.
