Connecting to another computer by wireless

When you start LapLink on both computers, a connection opens automatically over their wireless devices. Autocon- nect, the default setting for wireless connections, forces the computers to connect to each other. If you change this set- ting, you can connect to the other computer manually.

TIP If the connection does not open automatically, click Port Setup on the Options menu and verify that the appro- priate COM port is enabled for wireless communications.

TIP

Using infrared devices

The infrared devices you use in LapLink must first be set up in Windows. The Windows infrared driver supports a variety of built-in devices, including fast infrared devices, as well as adapters connected to serial ports. If the driver is not installed on your computer, you can download it from the Microsoft site on the Internet.

TIP When you install the infrared driver, specify any COM port from COM1 to COM9 as the redirected port. In LapLink, click Port Setup (Options menu) and enable the same redirected port for wireless communications.
