Linking to an Infrared Device
(Select Models)
Some notebook models are IrDA-compliant and can
communicate with another infrared-equipped device that is
also IrDA-compliant. The IrDA connection speed standard
is 4 megabits per second (Mbps).
The infrared port supports low-speed connections up to
115 kilobits per second (Kbps) as well as high-speed connections
up to 4 Mbps.
Infrared performance might vary according to:
■ Performance of the infrared peripheral
■ Distance and angle between infrared devices
■ Software applications being used
■ Interference or obstruction between devices
✎
Infrared signals are sent through an invisible beam of infrared
light and must have an unobstructed line of sight.
