Note
Infrared port
To make an infrared connection
The infrared (IR) port is on the back panel. It provides wireless, serial
communication between the OmniBook and other IR-equipped devices such as
printers and other OmniBooks.
By default, the IR port is not enabled. You must install the appropriate IR driver and
enable it in BIOS Setup. For details, refer to the drivers' Readme files located in
\OmniBook\drivers\Win95.
Line up the OmniBook's IR port and the other IR port in as straight a line as
possible. The two ports should be no more than 1 meter apart, with no
obstructions in between. Noise from nearby equipment can cause transmission
errors.
To check the status of communications, there is an Infrared Monitor in the Control
Panel.
