Infrared Data Communications

Your computer is equipped with an infrared communications port enabling you to transfer data without a cable.

Preparations for Infrared Data Communications

Set the address of your infrared communications port to enable.

Position your computer so that the port is face-to-face with the port of another computer.

Be sure the computers are not in direct contact with one another.

A port-to-port distance of 20 to 50 cm (8 to 20 inches) is recommended.

Port

CAUTION

In the Setup Utility, select [IrDA] in the [Supervisor Setup] and set [Automatic (PnP)] or [2F8]. Setting [OFF] will make infrared data communications impossible.

Problems with infrared data communications

An object is located between both ports.

There are other electronic devices nearby causing interference, such as, a television, VCR, wireless headphone, etc.

Direct sunlight or white glowing light, such as fluorescent lighting; can cause inter- ference with communications between the ports.

Running TranXitTM

TranXit comes preinstalled and allows you to perform infrared data communications such as transfer data and update information between two computers. Note that both computers need to have TranXit installed and running.

Running the program

Select [TranXit] from [Start] - [Programs] - [TranXit].

NOTE

Online help is available on how to use TranXit. Click [TranXit Quick Reference Guide] in [Start] - [Programs] - [Panasonic].

Setting or changing the “Computer Name”

It is necessary to assign a different “Computer Name” to each computer; select [Com- puter Name] in [Setup] to change the name.

CAUTION

In [Control Panel]-[Add New Hardware], if [Infrared] is added, TranXit can not be used. For TranXit to be operable, [Infrared] must not be set.

Exit TranXit software before entering the suspend or hibernation mode. Start TranXit again after the computer resumes.
