Using PC Cards
Note: The PC card slot of the MX2 is not user accessible, but
functions in the same manner as the LXE 2325 for software
installation, use and general features. Please refer to the "LXE
2325 Reference Guide" for PC card information.
The MX2 has a slot for plugging in PC cards, and each unit is factory-
equipped with PhoenixCARD Manager Plus PC card drivers. PC cards
provide such features as network connectivity, modem connectivity, and
wireless capability. Their primary purpose in the MX2 is to provide
additional memory storage by functioning as a disk drive.
The MX2 holds one PC card at a time. If the MX2 has a radio card
installed, the radio card will need to be removed before a different PC
card can be inserted.
The IR Serial Port
Figure 2-4 The IR Port on Bottom of Unit
The serial port is a half duplex IR (Infrared) port. Through software
commands, the port may be set up for IR or a modified RS-232 serial
communication.
In general, the IR mode is used when communicating to other IR devices
(printers, computers, etc.) and the modified RS-232 mode is used to
communicate with the dock for host communications.
In IR mode, all physical communications meet the IrDA physical layer
specification. In the modified RS-232 serial mode, the IR port is used to
transmit RS-232 level data out the IR port. With the MX2 in the dock,
the keypad facing the front of dock, the left-most pad is the RS-232
input (RXD) into the MX2 while it is in the dock.
