IR HotSync operations

You can use the IR port on your console to perform HotSync operations without a HotSync cable or cradle. This is very useful if you travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared communication on your laptop and console, and then follow the steps on page 172.

Preparing your computer for infrared communication

Not all computers are equipped to perform IR HotSync operations. The computer you want to synchronize with must meet the following requirements:

•The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.

•The computer must have an installed infrared driver.

•The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an enabled infrared device attached to the computer. Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical serial port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port.

If the infrared port on your computer is not enabled, see the documentation that came with your computer for instructions on enabling the infrared port.
