4 Select “Enable infrared communication.”
The COM port displayed in the “Enabled infrared communication”
option is the port where your infrared device is attached. It should be
different from any port used by the HotSync Manager.
5 Make a note of which port is listed as “providing application
support.”
You need this information to configure the HotSync Manager for
infrared communication.
Note
This port (COM4 in this example) is the simulated port, the channel through which
the actual infrared communication takes place between your computer and your
CLIE handheld.
6 Deselect any other check boxes in the “Options” tab.
7 Click “Apply” and “OK.”
Notes
• With the Windows Me operating system on which a cradle HotSync operation can be
done, you can perform an infrared HotSync operation without making any settings.
• You cannot perform an infrared HotSync operation with a computer that has the
Windows 2000 Professional operating system installed.
