Connecting an IR Device
Your computer has an IR (infrared) port for connecting an
infrared-equipped device wirelessly such as another computer, printer, or
PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).
Follow this procedure to connect an IR device:
1. Make sure that the “Serial Port COM2 (FIR)” item is set properly in
the SCU prog
ram. (See “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5 for
information.)
2. When using the IR port of your computer to receive data:
Place the tran
smitting device where its IR port faces the IR port of
your computer within the effective range − within ±20-degrees
vertical angle and within ±20-degrees horizontal angle at no greater
than 0.8~1.0 meter distance.
When using the IR port of your computer to transmit data:
Place the receiving device where the IR port of your computer faces
its IR port within the effective range − within ±15-degrees vertical
angle and within ±15-degrees horizontal angle at no greater than
0.8~1.0 meter distance.
To take advantage of the IR communications, you need a third party
software.
