Connections

The system uses a variety of hardware to connect to peripheral devices or to
other computer systems. When the Gateway Solo™ 2100 Multimedia Note-
book connects to another system, that system is called the "remote system."

IR port

The IRDA-1 IR (infrared) port and optional module uses infrared technology
to send signals between the notebook and a remote system. The IR port is
located on the right side of the system. It can send signals, as well as receive
them. A variety of desktop computers, printers and other peripherals are IR-
compatible. Placing the Gateway Solo 2100's IR port within three feet (one
meter) of another unit's IR port along with transfer software, will allow you to
send and receive information to that remote desktop computer, printer or
other peripheral. The optional module (the receiver/transmitter) must be
placed no farther away than three feet (one meter), with the module's IR port
directly facing the Gateway Solo 2100's IR port. The other end connects to
the remote system's serial port.
