Preparing for an Infrared Connection
To establish a direct infrared connection between the computer
and another IrDA-compliant device, follow these steps:
■
If the connection is between two computers, ensure that each
computer has a different computer name, according to
Microsoft conventions.
■
Ensure that the infrared ports on both devices are enabled and
facing each other at a distance no greater than 1.5 feet (0.5
meter).
■
Aim the ports directly at each other. The maximum capture
angle is 30 degrees, each port aligned no more than 15 degrees
off the center line between ports.
■
Avoid interference from other infrared or audio remote control
devices, such as wireless headphones, by keeping such devices
away from the infrared connection.
■
Avoid direct sunlight or flashing incandescent light close to
the infrared ports. Some energy-saving fluorescent lights may
also interfere with infrared transmissions.
■
Keep the path between ports clear of objects that might
interfere with data transmission.
■
Do not move the computers during data transmission.
NOTE:
Because infrared equipment varies among manufacturers, it
may be necessary to place the two devices closer together and in
more direct alignment than recommended above.
