Basics Infrared Communication - 27
Infrared Communication
The iMac comes with built-in 1-megabit infrared technology for easy,
wireless LAN access and file sharing with similarly equipped systems.
The iMac logic board has one IrDA (Infrared Data Association)
compliant connector that offers a maximum transfer speed of 4 MB/
sec (AppleTalk and TCP/IP).
The iMac also allows users to switch to the IRTalk protocol by using
the Infrared Control Panel. The iMac can therefore communicate with
other IRTalk-capable devices (such as Macintosh PowerBooks) using
the IRTalk protocol at a speed of 230 kB/second (AppleTalk Only).
For information about whether or not iMac computers can
communicate with HP printers, contact Hewlett Packard. For
information about whether iMac computers can communicate with
other third-party IrDA compliant devices, contact the manufacturer of
the third-party device.
