1<chapter><title>IrDA Applet</title>
2<para>
3The IrDA Applet provides a GUI for easilly controlling communication between your device and others using the IrDA
4protocol. You can use it to communicate with PalmOS based devices, cell phones, and almost anything else that
5can use infra red to communicate.
6</para>
7<section><title>Starting IrDA</title>
8<para>
9To start IrDA, click the IrDA Applet icon in the taskbar, and select "Enable IrDA". The icon should then turn red, and
10clicking the icon should then bring up a larger menu. If this does not happen, you do not have the IrDA modules installed
11properly on you device. Make sure you install the IrDA driver package for the device and distribution that you are using.

14<section><title>Recieving Files</title>
15<para>
16If you want to recieve files like images or contact information from another device, you need to tell your device to
17start looking for other devices. Do this by clicking on the IrDA Applet icon and selectiong "Enable Discovery". A
18green dot should appear in the upper right hand corner of the IrDA Applet icon. Then select "Enable Recieve" from
19the applet's menu, and a white box should appear in the bottom left corner of the IrDA Applet's icon. You can then
20have the other device send the file, and Opie should recieve it and open the file in whatever application is
21appropriate.
22</para>
23<para>
24When you are done recieving files, you will want to select "Disable Recieve" and "Disable Discovery" from the
25IrDA Applet's menu so that you are not wasting system resources.

27</section>
28<section><title>Stoping IrDA</title>
29<para>
30Sometimes it is necessary to stop IrDA, usually so that you can use the IR port for another application. To do this,
31select "Disable IrDA" from the IrDA applet's menu.
