You can use the IR port on your console to perform HotSync operations
without a HotSync cable or cradle. This is very useful if you travel with an
infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared communication on your
laptop and console, and then follow the steps on
page 172 .
Preparing your computer for infrared communication Preparing your computer for infrared communication Preparing your computer for infrared communication Preparing your computer for infrared communication
Not all computers are equipped to perform IR HotSync operations. The
computer you want to synchronize with must meet the following
requirements:
•
The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA
standards.
•
The computer must have an installed infrared driver.
•
The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an
enabled infrared device attached to the computer. Desktop computers
are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical serial
port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port.
If the infrared port on your computer is not enabled, see the documentation
that came with your computer for instructions on enabling the infrared port.
