Connecting an infrared device
The Pedion can use the same kind of infrared signal
as that used by a TV or video remote control to
communicate with another computer or peripheral
device. The Pedion supports the IrDA 1.0 and IrDA
1.1 Fast Infrared (FIR) standards promoted by the
Infrared Data Association.
When using the infrared port, it is important to
ensure that the two devices about 1 metre apart and
within an angle of 15 degrees of a clear line-of-sight
between the two ports.

General advice on IR communication
Communication is one-to-one only.
Communication under a fluorescent lamp may
decrease the speed of data transfer.
Keep TV or VCR remote controls away from
the effective range of the infrared ports.
During communication, do not move the two
communicating devices.
The Pedion is configured at the factory to use
the IrDA 1.0 standard. If necessary, you can
change this to Fast Infrared with the BIOS
Setup utility and the Windows Control Panel.
