Infrared is a new generation technology that is used to transfer data from one infrared enabled device to another by lining up the infrared 'eye' with other devices.The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) defines physical specifications communication protocol standard for the short-range exchange of data over infrared light, for uses such as personal area networks (PANs). Generally in mobiles infrared technology is used for following purposes:
1) Connecting to the Internet from a laptop via your mobile using IrDA.
2) Beaming contact / business card / ring tones / pictures etc to another mobile.
3) Installing software or backing up your data to/from a PC.
Working: Infrared works by lining up the infrared ‘eye’ with other devices. Before you communicate between your PC and your mobile phone, you have to activate the infrared (IRDA) port of your mobile phone. Mobile phones have their own menu item to activate the infrared port. For example, for a Samsung mobile phone you have to choose Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity - > Infrared. After activating the infrared port, you will see the following symbol at the top left corner on the display of your mobile phone and you will know that the infrared port is enabled. Some phone disables the infrared port after some minutes if there is no data exchange on the infrared connection. So, before you start a communication take a look on your mobile phone and reactivate the infrared port if necessary. Look also that there is a straight connection between the infrared sensor of your Pocket PC and your mobile phone and that there is nothing between the two devices that can block the communication.
