Communicating with Your NEC Versa
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.
Enabling the IR Port
Follow these steps to enable the IR port.
1.
Access the BIOS Setup utility at power-on. Just press
F2
when the prompt, “
Press
<F2> to enter Setup
,” appears.
The BIOS Setup main menu appears.
2.
Select the Peripheral Setup Menu.
3.
Set the IR Serial Port to “Auto.”
4.
Exit the Peripheral Setup menu.
5.
Save the settings and exit the BIOS Setup utility.
Using the IR Port
Follow these guidelines when using the IR port to communicate with another infrared
device.
!
Position the NEC Versa VX no more than three feet away from the IR peripheral
device you are using.
!
Make sure that there is no greater than a 30º angle between the computer and the
device.
Note
To use the IR port to communicate with an external device when a PC card is
installed, use the Windows 95/98/NT device manager to disable either the USB port or
the 56K internal modem (available on some models). Ensure that the IR port has been
enabled through the Setup utility.
To take advantage of the FIR transfer rate, disable the 56K internal modem.
