Preparing for an Infrared Connection To establish a direct infrared connection between the computer and another IrDA-compliant device, follow these steps: s If the connection is between two computers, ensure that each computer has a different computer name, according to Microsoft conventions. s Ensure that the infrared ports on both devices are enabled and facing each other at a distance no greater than 1.5 feet (0.5 meter). s Aim the ports directly at each other. The maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, each port aligned no more than 15 degrees off the center line between ports. s Avoid interference from other infrared or audio remote control devices, such as wireless headphones, by keeping such devices away from the infrared connection. s Avoid direct sunlight or flashing incandescent light close to the infrared ports. Some energy-saving fluorescent lights may also interfere with infrared transmissions. s Keep the path between ports clear of objects that might interfere with data transmission. s Do not move the computers during data transmission. NOTE: Because infrared equipment varies among manufacturers, it may be necessary to place the two devices closer together and in more direct alignment than recommended above.
