4-22 Using the NEC MobilePro
USING THE IR PORT
With the NEC MobilePro, you can send and receive data
to and from another similarly equipped device using the
infrared (IrDA) communication port. In addition, you can
use the IR port to synchronize data with your host PC, in
place of using the PC Connect serial cable.
Before using the NEC MobilePro for IrDA communica-
tion, first configure/enable the IR port on your host sys-
tem, then install Microsoft ActiveSync on your host
system.
Note:
If you configure/enable the IrDA port on
your host system after installing Microsoft Active-
Sync, you must re-install Microsoft ActiveSync be-
fore establishing IrDA communication between
systems.
Follow these steps to use the IR port to communicate with
another MobilePro or your host PC.
1.
Remove the PC Connect (serial) cable from the Mo-
bilePro before attempting IrDA communication.
2.
Open the display panels on the two units that you want
to use for communication.
3.
Position the units so that communication ports face
each other. Position the units from 2 to 20 inches
apart.
4.
Be sure that nothing obstructs the path between the
communication ports on both units, and that the ports
are aligned properly.
5.
Send your data by using the “Send To” selection in the
Windows CE Pocket Explorer File menu.
