Conducting Ir Hotsync Operations; Preparing Your Computer For Infrared Communication - Samsung SGH-I530 Manual

Conducting IR HotSync
Operations
You can use the infrared (IR) port on your PDA phone to
perform HotSync operations. When you perform an IR
HotSync operation, you don't need your desktop holder/
cable. However, you must have a computer that's
equipped with an IR port and that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the Infrared Data Association (IrDA)
standards. This is especially useful if you travel with an
infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared
communication on your laptop and PDA phone and
follow the steps in "Performing an IR HotSync operation"
later in this section.
Preparing Your Computer for
Infrared Communication
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the
IR port, the computer with which you want to
synchronise must fulfil these requirements:
• Your computer must support the IrCOMM implementation
of the IrDA standards.
• Your computer must have an enabled infrared port that's
built into the computer, or an enabled infrared device
attached to the computer.
• Some desktop computers may require an infrared device
attached to a physical COM port. Laptops are likely to
have a built-in IR port, so no external device is necessary.
• Your computer must have an installed infrared driver.
