| 336919 | 2005-03-22 18:27:00 | Background: My PC is running in Windows XP sp2 with an IRXpress USB-IrDA infrared adapter which I intend to use to connect with my Alcatel Alcatel OT 735 mobile phone. The PC can't seem to communicate properly with the phone using the infrared port. Here are the details and symptoms of the problem: - The Wireless Link icon is missing from the control panel. - Double clicking Irprops.cpl does not start the wireless link applet. - Irftp.exe does not run when double clicked. - The Infrared Monitor icon does not appear in the system tray when a wireless device is within range. - the files irmon.dll, irda.sys, Irftp.exe and Irprops.cpl are all present in the computer. -In Services.msc, I checked out the Infrared Monitor service. It is started and set in 'automatic'. - During the installation of the Alcatel PC Software Suite, the mobile phone was detected and it's modem driver installed (One Touch 735 IrDA) . - Trying to query the One Touch 735 IrDA modem in the dignostics tab of the modem propreties, the modem was detected. - I tried to use the mobile phone as the modem to dial-up to my ISP. It dialed and connected sucessfuly. - In the Alcatel PC Software Suite, I tried to retreive photos from the mobile phone. The phone was not detected. - I tried to use some third party software dowloaded from the web such as Alcatel Manager and MOBILedit. They detected the phone, connected and syncronized data sucessfuly. With the data I supplied above I hope you can diagnose the cause of the problem. Any help in resolving this is highly appreciated!

| 336921 | 2005-03-23 12:25:00 | No that is not my irda adapter . My adapter is made by Chronos Unlimited with a KC technology driver . Here's the manual: . chronos . com . tw/drivers/usb/usbirda/IRManual_v2 . 2 . pdf" target="_blank">www . chronos . com . tw Yes I installed the adapter according to what the manual said . Would it be possible that my system dosent have an IrDA Protocol installed? |

| 336922 | 2005-03-23 21:02:00 | I would check the BIOS . See if theres a IRDA option in there . And enable it and see which COM port its currently on . What option do u select for the transmission, as shown in that PDF file u posted?? COM 3/4?? LPT1 /2? Can u select COM 1? If not there MAYBE an option in the BIOS to put it on COM 1 . I take it you do have com ports on your PC somewhere?? Also, does it show all the entries like it does in that PDF file? And say that it is working? |
