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.
