Using infrared devices
The infrared devices you use in LapLink must first be set up
in Windows. The Windows infrared driver supports a variety
of built-in devices, including fast infrared devices, as well as
adapters connected to serial ports. If the driver is not
installed on your computer, you can download it from the
Microsoft site on the Internet.
TIP When you install the infrared driver, specify any
COM port from COM1 to COM9 as the redirected port. In
LapLink, click Port Setup (Options menu) and enable the
same redirected port for wireless communications.
