Preparing your computer for infrared communication

To perform an IR HotSync operation, the computer you want to synchronize with must have an enabled infrared port or be connected to an infrared device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.

Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port. Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.

Does your computer support infrared communication?

If your computer uses Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 2000, infrared communication is built into the operating system. Some versions of Windows 95 also have built-in infrared communication. If you are using another type of computer, check the documentation that came with your computer to see if it supports infrared communication.
