To make an infrared connection
The infrared (IR) port is on the back panel of the OmniBook. It provides wireless,
serial communication between the OmniBook and other IR-equipped devices such
as printers and other OmniBooks.
By default, the IR port is not enabled. You must install the appropriate IR drivers and
enable IR in the Setup utility (Advanced menu, I/O Device Configuration,
Serial Port B).
• Line up the OmniBook's IR port and the other IR port in as straight a line as
possible. The two ports should be no more than 1 meter (3 feet) apart, with no
obstructions in between
