Using the IR Port

With the NEC MobilePro, you can send and receive data to and from another similarly equipped device using the infrared (IrDA) communication port. In addition, you can use the IR port to synchronize data with your host PC, in place of using the PC Connect (serial) cable.

Before using the NEC MobilePro for IrDA communication, first configure/enable the IR port on your host system, then install Microsoft ActiveSync on your host system.

Note If you configure/enable the IrDA port on your host system after installing Microsoft ActiveSync, you must re-install Microsoft ActiveSync before establishing IrDA communication between systems.

Follow these steps to use the IR port to communicate with another MobilePro or your host PC.

1.Remove the PC Connect (serial) cable from the MobilePro before attempting IrDA communication.

2.Open the display panels on the two units that you want to use for communication.

3.Position the MobilePro units so that the IR ports face each other. Position the units from 2 to 20 inches apart.

4.Be sure that nothing obstructs the path between the IR ports on both units, and that the ports are aligned properly.

5.Send your data by using the “Send To” selection in the Windows CE Windows Explorer File menu.

Highlight the file you want to transfer and choose “Infrared Recipient” from the Send To selections. Your file is transferred to the other device. The receiving device uses the File/Receive command to receive the infrared transmission.

Note If the units are too far apart or if something blocks the path between the two ports, data may not be sent or received correctly.
