Page 144 Advanced HotSync® Operations

Preparing your computer for infrared

communication

Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the

computer with which you want to synchronize must fulfill these

requirements:

■

Your computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the

IrDA standards.

■

Your computer must have an enabled infrared port that’s built into

the computer, or an enabled infrared device attached to the

computer.

Some desktop computers may require an infrared device attached

to a physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR

port, so no external device is necessary.

■

Your computer must have an installed infrared driver.

If you have an external infrared device attached to your computer,

a driver is probably included with the device. Consult the

documentation included with the device for information on

installing the required driver.

Check your computer’s documentation to learn if the computer

supports infrared communication.

Configuring HotSync Manager

for infrared communication

Next, you need to configure HotSync Manager for infrared

communication.

To configure HotSync Manager for infrared communication

on a Windows computer:

1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray,

and make sure Infrared is checked. If you do not have an Infrared

option on the HotSync Manager menu, complete the following

steps.

2. Make sure Local Serial is checked on the menu.

3. Choose Setup.

4. Click the Local tab.
