Using Your NEC Versa Note 4-15 IR Port The IR port on the left side of your system lets your NEC Versa Note communicate with other devices that also use infrared technology. The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily transfer files between your NEC Versa Note and an IR-equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using cables. There are three transfer rates for the IR port on your NEC Versa Note. The transfer rates are FIR (Fast Infrared - 4. 0 Mbit/sec), MIR (Medium Infrared - 1. 152 Mbit/sec), and SIR (Serial Infrared Standard - 2. 4 Kbit/sec). Windows 98 and Windows 95 transfers at up to 4 Mbits/sec. Your NEC Versa Note transfers data at the speed compatible with the receiving device. If the receiving device is also FIR equipped, your NEC Versa Note recognizes this capability and transfers data at the FIR rate. CAUTION Your NEC Versa Note ships with the IR port disabled. The first time that you use the IR port you must enable the device through the setup utility. [. . . ] See nonvolatile memory.
