TP 701 - How to set up infrared data transfer?

Applicable to: World-Wide

Description:
How do I set up and configure infrared data transfer on a ThinkPad 701 ?

Solution:
The TranXit software is provided for this purpose. It allows you to transfer and synchronize files between notebook computers and
desktop units with compatible infrared ports. (There are now infrared transceiver that can attach to any desktop PC and make it
infrared-ready). The software can be downloaded from the usual IBM internet sites.

In case of problems when using infrared, please check the following:

1. Make sure you are no more than one meter from the other IR port;
2. Make sure the other IR port is no more than 15 degrees away from directly in front of yours (in other words there is only a 30
   degree spread permitted);
3. Make sure there are no obstructions between the two IR ports;
4. Set the processor speed to 50MHz (via Fn+F1) for best results.
