IR HotSync operations
Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the
Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam data to
another Palm OS handheld but also to any other device that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the IrDA standards.
But more importantly, your IR port allows you to perform HotSync operations without
using a cradle. This is very useful if you travel with an infrared-enabled notebook
computer. You simply enable infrared communication on your notebook computer
and on your handheld, then follow the steps described in "Performing an IR HotSync
operation" on page 223.
Preparing your computer for infrared communication
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer you
want to synchronise with must meet the following requirements:
The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA
standards.
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 COM port. Notebook computers are likely to have a built-in IR port.
NOTE: Check the documentation that came with your computer to determine if it supports
infrared communication.
Your computer must also 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 that came with your
device for information on installing the required driver.
NOTE: Infrared communication is built into the operating system for Microsoft Windows 98
and later versions.
To enable your computer’s IR function
1 In the Windows taskbar, click the Start button.
2 Highlight Settings, and then choose Control Panel.
3 For Windows 98 users, look for the Infrared icon in the Control Panel; for users of
Windows Me and later Windows operating system versions look for the Wireless Link
icon .
