Establishing an infrared connection

Using the infrared software for Windows, you can communicate with another PC or printer equipped

with an infrared interface.

Before you can establish an infrared connection, you must have activated the infrared

software. Additional information on the infrared interface is contained in the Windows help

in the Start menu under the topic "Infrared".

Configuring the infrared connection

By default, the mode for the infrared port is set to FIR ("Fast IrDA Mode") in the BIOS Setup. If you

want to communicate with a system on which Windows ME is not running, you can change the

setting to IrDA. Please note that IrDA is the slower mode and is generally used on older computers.

On the USB ports you can connect external devices that also have a USB port (e.g. a printer, a

scanner or a modem).

USB devices are hot-pluggable. This allows cables from USB devices to be connected

and disconnected with the system switched on.

Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.

Connect the data cable to the external device.

Connect the data cable to a USB port

Device drivers

The devices you connect to the USB ports usually require no driver of their own, as the

required software is already included in the operating system. However, if the USB device

requires its own software, please install it from the data carrier provided with the USB

device.

Docking devices turn notebooks into convenient standard workstations in a flash. Only the Port

Replicator II-L can be used as a docking device for this notebook.

For additional information on the Port Replicator II-L, also see the documentation on the docking

devices.

You should install your notebook's software (operating system, device drivers) before

docking your notebook the first time.
