Connecting Infrared Equipment; Infrared Connection Guidelines - Compaq Evo N410c Hardware Manual

Connecting Infrared Equipment

The infrared port allows communication between the notebook
and another infrared-equipped device by producing an invisible
beam of infrared light between the devices. Infrared performance
varies depending on equipment, distance between infrared
devices, and applications being used. The infrared port is
IrDA-compliant and supports both low-speed connections up to
115 kilobits per second (Kbps) and high-speed connections up
to 4 megabits per second (Mbps).

Infrared Connection Guidelines

■
Be sure the infrared ports on both devices are turned on
and facing each other at a distance no greater than 1.5 feet
(about 0.5 meter).
■
Avoid moving the infrared ports away from each other during
data transmission.
