Linking to an Infrared Device
If the computer is running Windows 98 or Windows 2000
Professional, the computer is IrDA-compliant (4 Mbps standard)
and can communicate with another infrared-equipped device that
is also IrDA-compliant.
Infrared signals are sent through an invisible beam of infrared
light and require an unobstructed line of sight path.
Linking to an infrared device
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.
