IR Port
The IR port on the front of your system lets your NEC Versa VXi communicate with
other devices that also use infrared technology. The IR port is Infrared Data
Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily transfer files between your NEC Versa
Note and an IR-equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using
cables.
IR transfer speed ranges from 2.4 Kbit/sec to 4.0 Mbit/sec. You can limit the IR
transfer speed through the Infrared icon in the Windows control panel. Double click the
icon and select the options to access the speed parameter.
Your NEC Versa transfers data at the speed compatible with the receiving device.
Your NEC Versa ships with the IR port disabled. Before using
the IR port for the first time, you must enable the device. See the following section to
enable the IR port.
