Infrared driver for Windows NT 4.0 - ThinkPad 365X/XD, 380, 385, 560, 600, 755, 760, 770 |
|
This package provides the infrared communication driver to support IrDA (Infrared Data Association) 1.0 infrared communication protocol for Windows NT 4.0 users.
The driver supports point-to-point IR communication either with another ThinkPad computero r with a system equipped with an infrared port. This feature also supports the Generic (IrDA 1.0) mode up to 115000 BPS. This mode is used when communicating with other IBM ThinkPad computers.
Dial-Up Networking between the two computers through serial IR can be used as the Windows NT typical IR application.
This diskette enables or updates the infrared communication function of the following ThinkPad computers:
- ThinkPad 365X, 365XD
- ThinkPad 380, 380D, 380E, 380ED, 385D, 385ED, 380XD, 385XD, 380Z
- ThinkPad 560, 560E, 560X, 560Z
- ThinkPad 600, 600E
- ThinkPad 755CD, 755CDV, 755CE, 755CSE, 755CV, 755CX
- ThinkPad 760C, 760CD, 760L, 760LD, 760E, 760ED, 760EL, 760ELD, 760XD, 760XL, 765D, 765L

Installation instructions
To determine if you have to update the infrared communication driver or not, please refer to the "Summary of Changes" section.
Notice
If you install the Windows NT Service Pack after installing the IR driver, it is necessary to re-install the IR. This IR driver replaces the Microsoft driver serial.sys.
1. Log on the Windows NT with the administrator's password.
2. Extract the drivers onto the hard disk.
3. Click on Start -> Run...
4. Type C:\DRIVERS\WNT\INFRARED\INSTALL ; then press Enter or click on OK to start the installation. The Windows NT Setup window appears.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
6. Shut down and restart the computer.
When the device driver is installed, the infrared port is configured as a COM1 (IRQ4/Base IO address 3F8h) serial device. This is the default setting.
If your IR port is not enabled as COM1, loading the infrared driver will fail. You know the driver failed to load if you see the Windows NT Event Viewer.
To enable the infrared port for COM1 on your computer, do the following:
1. Run ThinkPad Feature program and enable the IR device as COM1.
2. Shut down and restart the computer.
Changing the Infrared COM Port Number
When you need to use an IR port other than the default value for example, to change to COM2, do the following:
1. Run ThinkPad Feature program and change the IR device COM port number to COM2.
2. Shutdown and restart your computer.
After your computer is restarted, IR COM port will be changed.
