Configuring the Infrared Port
As you set up your infrared software, the following information
may be helpful.

Interrupt Request (IRQ), 3.
■ If you use Direct Cable Connection and the utility asks you to
choose a port for the infrared connection, you can select Serial
Cable on COM5 or, if the computer is running a preinstalled
Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system, select Parallel
Cable on LPT3.
Enabling the Infrared Port
In Windows 95 the infrared port must be enabled each time the
computer is turned on or restarted. To enable the infrared port,
select StartÅSettingsÅControl PanelÅInfrared.

the computer starts up.
