IBM ThinkPad 760E, 760ED, or 760EL User's Guide
Your computer is equipped with an infrared (IR) communication
feature that allows point-to-point communication. The computer has
two infrared ports, one in the front of the computer below the hard
disk drive compartment and another on the rear of the computer.
The infrared feature supports the following three modes:
ThinkPad mode (IrDA High Speed extension, up to 1.15
megabits per second data transfer).
Use this mode when communicating with another 755 or 760
series ThinkPad computer with an infrared port or other
systems supporting ThinkPad mode.
Generic (IrDA 1.0, up to 115 kilobits per second data transfer
through a COM port).
Use this mode when communicating with generic infrared
communication device, such as Hewlett-Packard
200LX, Omnibook, Mind Path Remote Control IR55 F/ X , or
others.
Sharp ** (ASK) (9600 bits per second data transfer through a
COM port).
Use this mode when communicating with the Sharp Wizard
or other systems with infrared ports supporting Sharp mode.
To communicate between your computer and another computer, you
need to run the same communication application on both computers.
Refer to the application manuals for more information.
