Configuring an Infrared Port

LogoManager includes two modes of operation for phones that support Infrared:

Most newer Nokias can be used in conjunction with the Windows infrared drivers - when connected, the phone should be identified in the infrared Control Panel application. You can configure Logomanager to use the IrDA drivers during installation or via the options dialog.

Earlier phones (specifically older phones in the 61xx range) include IR ports which are not compliant with the IrDA standards, and although the phone is identified in the Control Panel, connecting using this method is not possible. To solve this problem for most users, LogoManager includes DirectIR support, whereby the IrDA communications drivers are bypassed and communication takes place directly with the phone. To enable DirectIR, you must remove or disable the Windows IrDA drivers so that the physical IR port can be accessed as a COM port.

Note that Windows NT does not include the Microsoft IrDA stack and so cannot use IrDA.
